Webmaster Changes

Calum Edwards has over the last couple of years been a great webmaster, committed, diligent and always keen to maintain the site. However due to increased personal commitments in recent months, a short time ago he made the committee aware of his intention to quit in the near future. The committee extend our sincere thanks to Calum for everything he has done during his tenure and wish him all the best with future endeavours, both in and out of Scrabble.

I'm very pleased to say we have found a new Webmaster who, along with Peter Thorpe (who has seized the reins in the interim), will be taking over in June.

Stewart Brodie will be taking over the role of Webmaster, supported by Pete, much in the same way as Mike Whiteoak and Wayne Kelly work together as Ratings Officers. Stewart has plenty of relevant technical skills and experience, and also the interest and enthusiasm to get involved with other matters, and as such will be joining us on full ABSP committee.

Over time, both Pete and Stewart are keen to take a more active role in sourcing and improving the site and its content so hopefully with both of them involved, we may be able to improve the look and feel of the website. For now, their most immediate priorities will be maintaining the calendar, and fixing some out of date information on existing pages. Please keep in mind both Pete and Stewart are still getting to grips with a few things, so bear with us, but by all means let us know, if you do notice any problems. We'll probably be aware already, but if never hurts to make sure.

If you have any ideas as to how you want your webpage updating please share them with us either via email or in person.
