Hi Everyone Quite a large update this time. PLEA FOR FEEDBACK Could I ask people to let me have some feedback regarding the site please. Working in isolation means that I only do what seems right to me without knowing how it impacts on other users. The database/tree – Does the software do what you want?, – Is there a...

Hi Everyone I hope that you are all keeping well. A fairly big update this time – and I’ve still got to find time to process a lot of stuff that people have sent in (Sorry June, Phil, Gerry).

Many thanks to those people who alerted me to this – unfortunately I don’t look at it every day, or even every week. Unfortunately my backup wasn’t thorough enough to be able...
