Well, I hadn't realised that it was a year ago today that the EFCC web
went live.  Thanks for reminding us, Fred.

In fact, when I saw the subject heading of your email I thought,
maybe, the news had got out that today is also Steve's birthday!!

Anyhow, Happy Birthday EFCC website.  And yes, if anyone has anything
they would like to see on the website or have any new ideas for
content etc., then just drop me an email.  Fresh ideas and imput are
always glady received.

I hope to continue the same level of committment to the website as I
have done over the past year and look forward to having your cruise
reports and photos to upload.  So please continue to support our
website.  And, yes, I'm sure I'm a little greyer after all those
headaches Fred and I had in trying to get it the site and running ( I
know I had many sleepless nights).

Thank you to all those who have been actively involved whether by
ideas or by contributing material for the site.  All that has just
make my life a little easier.

Rose
