Ladies and Gentlemen,

It falls to me to announce some changes to the Forum Staff.

After many years honorably serving this forum, two of our Forum Moderators are retiring.

Will you please join me in thanking Splash_4 (Mike) and Kiltedmusiclover (Nelson) for their service and dedication to this forum.

Nelson and Mike have been Forum Moderators for a very long time. Nelson is the Moderator with the longest service of any staff member. He was one of the first chosen by Hank to become House Chairman, the forerunner of our current Forum Moderator. Mike joined the staff within a year.
Both have spent many hours and shed many a tear and drop of sweat keeping this forum running smoothly. Every new Moderator felt the sense of history and wisdom that Nelson and Mike brought to the forum.
They both deserve our thanks and respect.



I am now pleased to announce that some new faces will be joining our staff.

Will you all please welcome our newest Forum Moderators.

Cessna152towser (Alex)
Mael Coluim (Ern)
Squeaky McMurdo (Chelsea)
ThistleDown (Rex)

With the addition of four new Forum Moderators our staff now spans 9 time zones and 4 countries. (and 2 genders) We hope this will give the staff the depth and range we have been looking for.

Let me be the first to say thanks very much to Splash_4 (Mike) and Kiltedmusiclover (Nelson) for all their hadr work helping to make this forum one of the best out there.

And ofcourse congratulations (or comiserations) to Cessna152towser (Alex),Mael Coluim (Ern),Squeaky McMurdo (Chelsea) and ThistleDown (Rex)

Thank you for the update Steve.

Thank you too; gentlemen both, for all your time and efforts for our benefit over the years.

And welcome to the new mods, who will, I am quite sure, be an asset to the website.

Thanks for all the hard work, retiring mods! Enjoy your new, free time!!

Happy retirement to these two fine gentlemen. It's the Mod's and members that make this site such a fantastic place.

Thank you to the retiring, and cheers to those picking up the mantle!

Well done, gentlemen.

Congratulations.


Best,

Robert

Thank you for your service, Splash_4 (Mike) and Kiltedmusiclover (Nelson).

Also thank you to those who have taken up the mantle:

Cessna152towser (Alex)
Mael Coluim (Ern)
Squeaky McMurdo (Chelsea)
ThistleDown (Rex)

Your service makes this the excellent community it is.

To those retiring: our many thanks, and to those joining the ranks of moderator: our blessings on your success.

Thank you, Mike and Nelson, for the years you have given to the forum.
My sympathies are with Alex, Ern, Rex and Chelsea – Chelsea especially, since managing a wild bunch of rabble is a tough challenge for one of the fairer sex.
Regards,
Mike
