A small team of us has been meeting at 7:45 on Tuesday mornings to tackle the nasties, and more team members are always welcome. If anyone is interested in setting up a subcommittee to plan further work on the site, I would be most grateful. As the site expands, it will benefit from a planning team.<br>
