The new website is finally unveiled

The new website is finally unveiled

Firstly, I’d like to say thanks to everyone for being so patient with me while our website has been down for a revamp.

In my usual way, I’d completely underestimated how much work was involved transitioning the previous site into the new version. Following a few weekends and long nights, I’m happy to make it visible to the public…. with the caveat that there is still much more to do.

Come back regularly for updates

I’m happy to receive feedback on the new format. Please let me know if you can suggest improvements.
