Welcome to the updated website!
Yes I know, it’s been a while coming!
After 15 years of running the original club website the effort needed to do so has become more and more time consuming. The old package it was developed in became harder to keep running and website hosts who would host the old style site became increasingly harder to find.
So after a while of trying to develop this while keeping the old site upto date (which wasn’t possible) I decided to concentrate on moving over to the new site (you might have noticed the lack of news on the original site!) I have been keeping this site up to date during the development so there shouldn’t be a gap between new and old and of course all that history is still there on the original site for you to search.
This new platform should be easier for others to share the task of updating stories, records etc… so if you’d like to see something on the site or volunteer to help please get in touch! Please feel free to send in any news items or performances that we’ve missed.
