Apology The Webmaster apologises to all those who have been wondering why there have been no updates to this Web site since the beginning of December. This was due to a major equipment malfunction (computer, not Webmaster) which has now been temporarily resolved. Hopefully all will now be OK and a permanent solution will be in place shortly. Contributors are encouraged to resume emailing in their news and items. Also, the Webmaster would like to thank June’s friends in Scotland for their kind comments about the Web site.
