I've just noticed I've passed the 2000 post mark on this site, I'm not sure how that happened.
I found this place by accident while looking for some living history information and I signed up straight away because I thought it might just be useful.
Little did I know it would change my life.
I went to a meet up at Loch Achray organized by John. (Magikelly) and had such a great time I have dragged myself to every meet up that I have been able to since.
The people I have met at these meets were real kindred spirits and I dare to say I have made some good friends through them.
If you are enjoying this site then the meets and moots are definitely the next step on your journey. They are well worth the effort and there are always people willing to help, teach and encourage in a way that is rare to see these days.
On the forum itself I have learned an immeasurable amount and I would like to thank everyone that has taken the time to answer my questions and put up with my occasional rants.
I suspect I've sailed close to the wind a couple of times but never been grounded, for that I must thank the Mods who put a tremendous amount of work into this site behind the scenes and it is a credit to their hard work that this site runs so smoothly and in such a friendly manner.
Of course the man I really have to thank is Tony. I've met Tony a couple of times and found him a quiet, thoughtful man. His avatar seems quite appropriate. However, without his vision in putting this site together and his drive to keep it running in spite of hardships along the way, this place we all value so much simply would not exist.
In case you are wondering this site does not pay for itself, mostly it is paid for out of Tony and Shelly's pockets. There is a way you could help and that is to become a full member.
For the cost of two or three glossy magazines, a years membership will help to ensure that this encyclopaedic resource stays exactly where it should be.
The best site on the internet. :You_Rock_
