Hello,

As updater of the website I accept reponsibility here.

Mike actually mentioned this to me today at college. I was mightily
confused myself.

I think the confusion lies in the presentation of the information as
the actual information is correct. (as far as I can see).  The text
below the 'January Meet' news item is the date that the item was put
up. At the end of the article it states the date of the meet, as well
as in the  usual place at the top of the page.

It makes more sense when looked at in context with the other news
articles. Though I agree, it is rather misleading.

I will work out a solution to the news item format and increase the
size of the announcement at the top of the page, so the information is
plain to see when the page first loads.

If there are any errors, let me know!

Cheers,
Jamie

P.S: As to the meeting dates, that's not my area of responsibility.
I'm sure Chris is looking into getting us a full list for the year but
I know from experience that it takes some time to sort this out. We
are only in January afterall, and we have the next two meets planned
ahead.

John: Is the last date that you mentioned a final date for the Farrell
meet? If so I will post up the details on the website.

We all should really be coming up with some ideas on how we can make
the most of this event, and get some new users to the group.

Cheers
Jamie
