Each area need a little work before it is ok to use, so did the forum as that was the first thing to get sorted, so moveing my way along the top menu and each will appear as they are fixed.

Over the next few weeks the Club website is going to change.

Why ?
Even though our site is fine for now, things have moved on and we need to change so it can be upgraded in the future without users being aware of it. It will also let us use new functionality that will make the site more easy and fun to use.

Whats new ?
Though the front end template will look different it will still be basically the same, user and password information will be the same as before and the forum will have the same functionally/posts as before. So I hope you will see little difference in this area and the plan is to make it more user friendly.

Under the hood, the database is different and should improve performance and is easier to upgrade in the future.
The code is different and again now makes the site easier to upgrade in the future and stop us having to change everything for every upgrade. It also enables us to run more Java based applications.

If you want a sneak preview of what is to come (not finished yet, so something will change) then you can see it on the link below.
