Who is running the forum ?

[Daniel Hatchford]

A few days ago I let it be known that I had recently joined this forum.

Since then I have spent quite some time reading past threads and comments.

I have thus noticed that since Sparky, presumably an employee of this website, has been unable to continue with her duties, the administrator, who I understand is PPToni, has failed to continue with her contributions such as the daily weather reports, Who is coming the next month and several other things that kept this forum alive and interesting.

She even failed to acknowledge my new membership.

I have also noticed that many sections of the website are several years out of date, quoting information and prices that are, to put it politely, misleading.

This a shame, and if things continue as they are, I will, regrettably, unsubscribe from this website.

I think you’ll find that Sparky was a volunteer, not an employee. The website was updated some time ago and is certainly improved, but you are correct that in Sparky’s absence some things are missing. The next one I expect you to notice is the post informing us of the restaurants and bars open over the winter, always useful for those of us who are lucky enough the visit throughout the year. The Forum had its ‘hayday” 10/15 years ago and is now a bit of a shadow of its former self, sadly due to the passing of many regular stalwarts who regularly amused us with their posts. I say this with apologies to our remaining stalwarts…..you know who you are!

Well, we dont get paid to come and write things. We just turn up, talk about stuff we do, ask questions about stuff we haven't done yet....

Give and take. If you need any info about things which haven't been discussed in a while then post on the old threads and maybe we can refresh it. In return we do expect a wee "trip report" after you've been to see us.

We're all sat here on the beach with ice creams and phones in hand ready to share our experiences.

Stalwart eh? I'm barely a Stalverruca... maybe one day I'll be allow the accolade of Stalwart but I think you need to have eaten at Stay more than 5 times and shook the Mayors hand... I did get a polite nod and a smile from Snr March in the street last week... I think its because the bonfire that Ernie and I built outside the town hall last January didn't take the building with it!! ( or maybe maybe he just had a bit of trapped wind).
