Editorial
Monday, 30th January 2012

It seems to have been a while since I last posted an editorial. Things have been quite hectic, not helped by working away from home a lot...

There have not been many website updates recently - this is not because I haven't been doing anything (!) but because I have been working in the background to prepare the website for a major upgrade. The current version of the Joomla CMS the site uses will be discontinued soon so we need to move to a newer version. I have been taking the opportunity to tidy up the articles and make them consistent in format and style as well as standardising on a single gallery application. Hopefully the upgrade will take place in a month or so.

Don't forget that show season is upon us - Milton Keynes is this coming weekend and the Huddersfield show is two weeks after that. See you all there!
