Feel free to browse around a new website, my long-time firend recently redesigned it for us.
The website looks great! Is there still a forum for the club to chatter in?

No, we decided to discontinue the forums... aside from a few people that regularly posted, they were pretty much dead. And managing them was a pain the rear end. We're using the storage space for more useful things like a much-improved picture gallery! The back-end management is much, much easier to control.

I bet it is much easier to maintain. I have some forums associated with other club websites I look after (RC, Ham Radio, Motorcycles, etc), and have opted to use outside sources like yahoogroups & googlegroups forums for that stuff to eliminate the maintenance and storage space. I've never tried to run a forum, but I'm sure it's a handfull :-)

Anyway, good work and I love the site. The photo gallery is especially top-shelf!
