The webshop is straightforward to use and no technical knowledge is required.

Public News : Band outing - River Cruise Sat 2nd June 7:30pm

Posted by Lynne on 27/02/07 (430 reads)

BAND GET TOGETHER BOOKED!

Have a look at www.riverleecruises.co.uk

Linda is arranging a Band social evening - on Saturday 2nd June. It will be a buffet cruise on the River Lee, leaving Broxbourne at 7.30 pm Cost £20 per head (for age over 12)

The cruise lasts three hours and those of us that went in 2005 thought it would be good to go again, this time earlier in the year so we can enjoy a bit more daylight.

This is a social event - partners etc are very welcome (The boat can accommodate 25 to 60 people on a buffett cruise.)

I have personally paid the deposit and will need to know how many people will be going by the Swaines Green job on 5th May.

Bye for now, Linda

Click here for directions to the departure point.

Pictures taken in 2005 can be seen here.

Public News : Bandwidth Limit Exceeded Horror

Posted by Daniel Andrews on 31/07/06 (427 reads)

Sorry to all of you who saw the following error message over the last few days:

Bandwidth Limit Exceeded

The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to the site owner reaching his/her bandwidth limit. Please try again later.

Rest assured it was a temporary problem caused by the Guestbook being over run with spam. I was also on holiday. I've had to disable the Guestbook for the time being, and also up our server space. Now you can all upload photos from the last few jobs!
