Hi all, it's Adam Brown here - the new webmaster... I just wanted to wish everyone a happy new year and to inform you all that I am still getting to grips with this system and that I will be taking it over slowly so for the moment I won't be making many changes, you might see a few test pages uploaded but in general for the moment I intend to keep the site as it currently is but obviously still updating it and as for new features I intend to produce a clone site to test out new features that I will slowly roll out. I have a lot of ideas already but if you have any ideas that you think would be good then please email me at
