Apologies
|
| We apoligise for the lack of promotional news/articles on
concerts and events over September and Early October. This was due to unavoidable
circumstances and we hope that this will be a rare occurance. Don't forget, basic
information such as Date, Location and Contact Number can always be found on our Events pages. |

| Their have been quite a few changes to the 'News Room' pages
over the past few months and we are now on Issue 7. Some visitors may not have had chance
to read previous issues so we have set up an archive list below which will enable visitors
to catch up on any news they may have missed. Although the contents of these pages will be
intact, some of the links may be out of date and we apologise for this. The effort
involved in ensuring that links are current is considerable and this time is better spent
on maintaining the more up to date areas of the site. The archive list begins from issue
6, if you require information from earlier articles then please let us know and we will see what we
can do.
