[Falkirk] Volunteers wanted for the website

[iain matchett]

A static site would probably be a good idea & then something on the front
end to pull stuff in (G cal would be fine for this!) I've got tonnes of
spare time after this week so I'm happy to build whatever over the
weekend/modifications over the next few weeks.

What's the hosting situ?
