Hi Stuart,

Welcome to the site, I'm glad you like it. I've changed the link in the piece above. I'm all in favour of exchanging links. Apart from the links here we don't yet have a proper links page but I intend to create one in the next few days. So please link to us and in addition to the link above I'll return the favour in a proper links page.

Hi

I see the link to the Gwynedd Recovery and Search Society website (www.grass.i12.com) is no longer valid.

Does anyone have new details, or has this society disbanded?
