Webmaster standing down.
« on: January 16, 2012, 04:11:33 PM »

This is to inform you that the Webmaster Derek Lilley is standing down.

I would like to put on record my thanks to Derek for the work he has done for the website since accepting the role, he took over at a very difficult time, we were in the middle of migrating from the the old site to the new and were in the process of a new learning curve but Derek took it in his stride and very quickly convinced me that he was the man for the job.

During his tenure Derek has given up much of his spare time and contributed many hours in keeping the website in good order, we have worked well as a team over the past year and I am grateful that he will continue as an Admin.

Many will not be aware that much goes on behind the scenes and in this capacity he has certainly played his part and we should all be grateful for what he has done in helping to move the website forward.

I will now assume the role of Webmaster until someone else is found.

Kind regards
Ken
