I agree we should probably ditch the forum and the current website and 
progress through the standard lug routes. Better that people find out about a 
Lancaster lug this way rather than coming across the current site in its 
present condition. lancasterlug.org.uk is running on a server of mine at the 
moment, shall I cut it dead for the time being?
