Website problems resolved (fingers crossed)

by  • 

We’ve had problems with the website for some weeks. In particular, apologies to our email subscribers who will have received no emails. We hope it’s all fixed now and are working to catch up with postings about future events.

For these, please also look at the Events Calendar on the website. We are trying to put all events we know about in the Calendar, however far off, so it includes ones not yet in Triangle, nor noted yet elsewhere on the website.
