Firstly a welcome to Daniel Livingston, who writes:

"Interested in perhaps using the space to do a little bit of basic robot
building/electronics with my daughter.

ps this form doesnt seem to work in Chrome.."

Daniel, firstly excuse the delay in adding you to the list, and thanks for
the error report. It seems Chromium has an issue with the CSS resulting in
a tiny hitbox for the name and email fields, making them very difficult to
select with the mouse, tabbing works. I'll add this issue to the my list of
things to do.

In other news the site and the mailing list now live on a new server.
As you may know, Benjamin Dembroski has been kindly hosting us on his
VPSfor several years at no charge, for all this and more we owe Ben a
great
deal of thanks.

The site and mailing list are now being hosted on the Scotlug VPS, which
has more capacity, as we were pushing the resource limits of Ben's VPS.

So a huge thank you to both Ben and Scotlug for hosting us.
Kenny Duffus and I migrated the site and the mailing list (including
archives).
Many thanks to Kenny for his efforts with this, and with arranging the
hosting with Scotlug.

For those of you who have not checked the site recently it's been updated,
it now renders better on portable devices and sports many new features.
It's also a lot easier to edit now with some GUI tools to aid formatting.

I have some small improvements and additions in functionality which I'll
roll out as time permits.

I'd also like to suggest a Winter Social event sometime within the next
couple of months, nothing formal, just an evening get together in the space
and at the CCA bar. Would anyone be interested in such an event?

Martin
