[Lancaster] Web Page

[Jon Hill]

Hi Martin

The linux box that the domain is hosted on belongs to a company that I do work 
for so I should really move it off there at somepoint and I couldn't really 
give any kind of access to it. So, for now you would need to hand me the 
html/php files. I guess we need an alternative at somepoint soon.
