Ian Murphy is to step down as UK President for health reasons.  Aldon is to chair a meeting in January to define the 'way ahead' for

 the Association.  I personally will be sad to see Ian leave his post, but we are only volunteers, this is only a hobby and people have

 to put their own personal circumstances first.

Web Site Closure

Officers in the US and UK have decided that there is to be only one web site to represent the Association.  I am sorry to say this is

not that web site.  The reason given by the Officers is financial.  When this site was launched over ten years ago web space was often

 given away free when subscribing to an Internet Service Provider.  Today, the Internet has become very commercialised and web space is costly.  The free ride is over and this site is to close in the new year.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone that has contributed by words of support, pictures, stories and memories.

  Without such contributions this site would not have been possible.
