Well Ladies and Lads, Happy New Year to you all. Hope we find you well on this raining pouring Sunday. Sure I'm half homesick looking out the window and turning on the lights at 10am. Snuggle up, put on the kettle and scoff the last of the selection box you've been hoarding in the back of the freezer.

Like a rolling stone that gathers no moss the football year ticks round once more to that all time favourite event, the AGM and thanks to the wonders of moderern technoknowledgy we can ALL join this year as we'll be hosting it on the webernet. details and links and such to follow.

So do pencil 8pm Monday 18th January into your filofax.

And sure isn't it wonderful to finally have a decent bit of weather to have a good chat with the neighbours about, here's a link to help with the classification of the rain. perhaps we'll need to introduce some new tropical descriptions.
