2. Bishops Down PSA July 2013 update PSA Changes We are very thankful for all the hard work Mel Joyce has put in as Chair of the PSA. At the end of the Summer Term Mel will be standing down and handing over the role of PSA Chair to Helen Jones (current Vice Chair). Alex King will become the new Vice Chair. We wish them well.
