Hi Nigel, a huge thank you for those wonderful words of support.... This forum and its members have been brilliant to me since the day I joined.. the words of encouragement, advice, tips and techniques they have given me have been truly inspirational and I can only thank them... My thinking is as you have said, if my diary advertises our forum, encourages novices to take the plunge, have a go and keep this wonderful hobby going then I will be more than happy..... Will simply try to do what I can to support the forum and the members within it....  Kind regards Alan
