Some of the images below ground are rather dark but if you whack up the brightness control on you monitor, all the detail is in there.

Enjoy.

Having thought about it all for a couple of days, we need to get a Pro doing it. For all our combined talents, there's a big difference to a functional web prescence that will just about serve our needs, to an outstanding tool for Education and Recruitment that I believe only a Web Pro can provide.

Chris, I could easily update the Volunteer Company website or use the same format as the Cleburne's Mess one which I prefer.

None of this is a problem other than with the lack of supportive mateial (at the time previously) and my own time to do it. However, winter is a great time to get it sorted but only if it is what people want.

We'd be better off getting a designer in for a crackin website that'll spread the word, enable discussion, have galleries, chat etc. It's a great recruitment tool done right.

I think we need to chat with the Eagles and the Lardies really cos this will affect all of us.

I reckon 500 would get us a blinder.

How fecking badly do we need a PROPER website?

Andy, Gus, Mickey, IOWA boys, how'd ya feel if we bankrolled one from the Scalawag funds? Cos this is doing my head in having no web prescence.

Any Scally opinions out there?

Yes a great little event. Shame we can't work to bugles more often, we'd really get @#%$-hot with it after a couple of events. First time I'd met Jan, he certainly knows his stuff and only blew a few bum notes. I've got some pics to stick up, I'll try and get them on the yahoo page if I can work it out. There is evidence there of the night by the fire.

By next time I will be lucky to have remembered the halt.
I like Widley but its a pitty that its not up to the same state of repair as Brockhurst. Its great that the health and safety nazis have our best interests at heart, excluding us from Brockhurst because of the dangers of some flaking paint.

Although Widley isn't quite 'Brockhurst', it certainly is the next best thing. Despite the modern intrusions above ground, once down inside the surroundings are just as good. Also the use of the field allows us to escape the vehicles and masts which litter the drill ground.

I hugely enjoyed drilling by bugle, and... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (TRWheeley) http://soskanprogressives.yuku.com/sreply/668 Mon, 17 Sep 2007 13:50:15 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Fort Widley ]]> http://soskanprogressives.yuku.com/reply/667/t/Fort-Widley.html#reply-667 Martyn Goddard
