First of all, thank you all for your patience this weekend while I've done the upgrade. Following my dress rehersal last weekend I can report everything went relatively smoothly this weekend.

So whats changed?

Well I've implemented a new front end to the site with many new features already implemented and many more to come, the most noticeable one is the new events calendar. I would encourage members to use this when arranging events to avoid clashes with other events as has heppened in the past. You can still orgainise it on the forum but when you've arranged a time and place, please pass the details onto any of the moderators and we will add it to the calendar.

On the forum front we have upgraded to PHPBB3 which is a welcome change giving a far more powerful backend for the moderators/admins and a fresher look on the front end for the users. You will have no doubt noticed that the forum layout has changed slightly, during the testing of the site I tweaked this a few times and those that tested seemed to agree that the layout was better.
