Website Update

website update

An update of the website has commenced.

Under the direction of the Committee a few changes have already been made. More changes are on foot. The intent is to make the site more useful and up-to-date.

Changes include the addition of Gallery and RS Cars pages, the movement of historic posts to a new News Archive page. Work on the RS Cars information will take some time to complete.

If you notice any errors or omissions or have a suggestion for the improvement of the site, please advise the Committee.

Cheers,

Arthur
