		<title>Welcome</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Welcome to the FAARTALS website, brought to you by the Fairfield and Avondale Retired Teachers &#38;&#160; Lecturers Society.

		<title>Snowdrift</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ As mentioned in the AGM posting, Roger was pleased to have his picture of a snowdrift published on the BBC main news pages last week.
