Thankyou for thast Judy. I fully understand and I think it is better if yu do not mention this to him. Thankyou and a party would be fabulous

It makes perfect sense, Judy

I'm sure between us we can get hold of a lot of the "occasional" people and if we get a note put on the main official homepage about the new official forum, that will help

The read-only forum is letting me look at the member list so we should be able to get some people's email addresses off there...the list should also jog our memory of other people who we might have contact with via facebook or something.

great idea Hannah

It looks like the new forum is working

Have just had a look Holly - think you are right. Will try to register and see what happens.

The picture has been changed on the homepage It's not working on the other pages yet but probably still being worked on

Ive just tried to log in and it keeps saying "incorrect user name" - so maybe we are getting ahead of ourselves?

Probably best to wait until Jon confirms that it's ready

Good thinking - will do!

I have logged in

(Tracie you have to register on it by the way)

Yes Judy said we would have to re-register I'm only cautious from my experiences of working in IT for cough, cough years that just because something looks like it's ready it may not be

I've had an email from Jon ...the forum is now ready for use ...any teething problems I've got to get back to him .....loving the new piccies ...Lewis has requested the SHOW section to go ...not sure about whether there will be piccies on the other pages I think Lewis was waiting to see what it looked like ...so we'll see what he does

Let's make this a site Lewis and us can be really proud of it's going to take a bit of time for all of us to set all the threads up again so everyone feel free to start them all up again

A massive thank you to Rosemary and Ursula for doing this temporary site and keeping us sane

Thanks Judy - thats great news. Will have a look now.
