THE END OF THE LINE FOR OUR
ORIGINAL WEBSITE

I'm sorry to inform everyone that the owners of the hosting company who have managed our site for 17 years have decided to call it a day, Matt and Leona have looked after us well for all that time and on behalf of everyone I thank them and wish them well in whatever they choose to do in future.
What do we do going forward? Do we find another company to manage our domain or take a punt to do it ourselves and save the fees? We decided to go with Google Sites which, famous last words, seems a simple solution which is free. So, we have started, very simply, and with the help of a very experienced web technician Rob Pengilly whom I would to personally thank for all his advice.

Food or No Food?


Most of our teams provide food paid for by a scratchcard bought by both teams. Three teams have opted out of providing food they are West Railway Club, Whipton B and Heavitree A. As far as we know the other nine teams continue to provide it - there is no rule which says food should be provided, it is entirely up to the teams.
