You could say that we have kept the best until last or even see th<strong>is</strong> as an early Chr<strong>is</strong>tmas present. Either way you look at it, we are delighted to confirm the launch of another enhancement to your membership, more Rewards Points for you. From 1 December 2012 all eligible purchases on your <strong>Capricorn</strong> account will now earn 1.5 points per $1/Rand. Th<strong>is</strong> development to the Rewards Program allows us to reward your membership even more and ensures you share even further in the success of <strong>Capricorn</strong>, the other business you own. As a Member, you do not need to do anything, but simply continue to purchase using your <strong>Capricorn</strong> account, the more you purchase, the more rewards you get. 2012 has been a fantastic year at <strong>Capricorn</strong> and we have celebrated many great things, including record profits, and record returns to Members. We have experienced events galore, as well as my first <strong>Capricorn</strong> Convention in Phuket, and it was a real pleasure getting to meet so many of you. I sincerely look forward to more celebrations in 2013. <strong>The</strong> close of 2012 also sees the United Nations International Year of Cooperatives (IYC) drawing to a close and it <strong>is</strong> evident now more than ever, co-operatives and mutual forms of business matter. <strong>The</strong> continuing turmoil within global financial markets and the r<strong>is</strong>ing d<strong>is</strong>enchantment with “big business” served as a dramatic backdrop to the IYC 2012. <strong>The</strong> lasting legacy of th<strong>is</strong> year includes a national council to represent the broad family of co-operative owned businesses. Thank you to all who have contributed. Inside th<strong>is</strong> edition you will find the regular features, many more great articles, including details on the SEMA show in the entertainment capital of the world, Las Vegas, photos from the recent Dinner and D<strong>is</strong>plays and a bit of h<strong>is</strong>tory too. I would like to take th<strong>is</strong> opportunity to w<strong>is</strong>h you a very Merry Chr<strong>is</strong>tmas and prosperous New Year.
