The Final Curtain

Hello and welcome to the CIOBS blog.

I am sure that all potential Chartered Bankers and those studying for the related Diplomas will be aware that the results of the Spring diet are now available on this website.

I have reproduced the above news with the kind permission of Peter Moir.

His permission must be sought for any reproduction that takes place here at CIOBS!

This is an historic time as the examination format is changing and there will be no more fixed diets. Students will be able to sit the final examinations at a time that suits them. Examinations will be available on a weekly basis starting in September of this year.

Was there a tear in Peter's eye yesterday?

The start of this week saw an Apex 5 revision session taking place here at CIOBS. In fact the attendees were delighted due to the fact that I took the session on Monday with Raymond taking over on Tuesday.

Two for the price of one or was it buy one get one free?

You can make your mind up as to why the students were delighted!

Raymond is off on his travels again this afternoon - Look out Fife he is on his way. The last time he was in Fife the group was with him all the way, however, he managed to shake them off at the Kincardine Bridge.

I am sure it will be safe for him to return to the Kingdom today.

Talking of travel, I will be starting two weeks annual leave tomorrow. So no more blogging for me during that time.

I am sure that Raymond will keep you posted on all the joys and sorrows of CIOBS during my absence and he might even have some kind words.

Congratulations to those who have passed the examinations - I am sure that you will enjoy the celebrations.

And there's more. Our AGM takes places here at Drumsheugh later today.

I look forward to seeing some of our blogees in attendance.

Michael (Do we have an AGM every year?)
