On 12th October, it was off to Cardiff City Hall for the day to the South Wales Association Meeting organised by Association Secretary Helen Stokes. My first Association event as President and, as it was chaired by Kerry McDermott, it was a chance to present him with the Senior Vice President's chain of office – see photograph below. 
Revaluation 2010 was the subject and Brian Jones South Wales VO Reval Leader gave a resume of the Reval process Notices and some early indication of changes of rateable value by giving peak values for shops offices and industrials for 2010 Lists compared to the 2005 List values.

I then gave a Business Rates review of the difficulties of this list in Recession Date and other matters including use of the VOA web site and supplementary and empty rates (see photo below). The Welsh assembly has not yet decided whether to have Transition (None for the last 2 lists).
