Regular users of Bishopthorpe dot net will know how much time and effort Martin has spent setting up, managing, and promoting the site over the last few years, especially during the recent upgrades.
Unfortunately Martin is leaving us for pastures new so is bowing out gracefully from site management duties and hanging up his keyboard. However one of his last actions was to find a willing/gullible 'volunteer' to carry on the good work - which is where I come in.
At the moment I'm just trying to find my way around and see how things work. I'll try not to mess anything up until I know what I'm doing - and that could take some time!
In the meantime feel free to post any comments, observations, ideas, etc about anything to do with the site. I can't guarantee anything will get done, but every bit of feedback helps.
Thanks again to Martin, and good luck.
Hi Ian I agree wholeheartedly with your comments regarding Martin without him my site would still be a dream!I shall miss his help and friendship which has been greatly appreciated.
Welcome, Ian - it's good to have you on board.
I, for one, am going to miss Martin - he has guided this non-techie contributor through various learning curves with great fortitude. Also, I'm especially grateful for the new web pages he put up for the History Group a few months ago - although I've still to get to grips with them.
Martin has always encouraged projects that involved the community and the success of the Crossroads project, as well as this website, is testimony to his hard work and commitment to the village.
