Well it's over - I'm sure there are plenty of tired sore bodies out there. Well done to everyone who got through it! Some photos added to the photos section - check them out.

New Site

Welcome to our new website!

Have a look around and feel fee to leave a comment.
Club members if you have any photo's you think would look good in the photo section,  bring them to training on a memory stick.

I plan to add some user accounts so others can update the 'News' section of the site. Still figuring that out though :)

Any suggestions on the site - let me know at training.

Cheers
Rob
