Dear colleagues,

as the year comes to a close, it is a good custom to look back and summarize
what has been achieved (and  what still needs to be done ...):

2005 certainly was a successful year for the ANKE collaboration:

- We have published and submitted a number of paper (some of them are already
accepted or in print): "Yaschenko", "Engels", "Zychor", "Wronska", "Fedorets",
"Chiladze", "Kleines", "Dymov";
a bunch of additional papers is in the making: "Hartmann", "Chiladze", ...
- Ola's PhD  was completed and Andreas' thesis has been submitted; 
- Markus finished his Habilitation;
- We had a very successful STORI'05 conference in May;
- BEAMTIMES: The new proposals and all requested beam-times from
the ANKE-collaboration were approved by COSY-PAC in October 2005. 

IKP-II and thus the ANKE-collaboration have lost important people due to retirement
(Borgs, Watzlawik, Stein); others have "moved on" (Kleber, Kulessa, Yaschenko).
- We want to take this opportunity to again thank them for their contributions
to the success of ANKE!

As a brief outlook to 2006, we would like to remind you on our upcoming beamtimes
in February and March/April and on the date for the next PAC-meeting (22/23 May).
- In order to be (as) successful in allocating additional beamtime for 2006 
(as in the past), very well prepared proposals have to be submitted. 

Also please keep in mind the workshop ("SPIN in Hadron Physics") 
that we will have in Tbilisi from 4 to 8 September!!!

Finally, we would like to thank all of you for your efforts, dedication and
hard work on hard-, soft-, and "paper-ware" for ANKE; 
best wishes to you and your family members for 2006.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year !

Andro Kacharava and Hans Stroeher
