A bit of bother

Just after lunch yesterday when the hard drive on the laptop decided to give up. So, the nice man at Dell said a new hard drive would arrive on Monday. If and when it arrives, a rebuild from scratch is on the cards so it'll be a day or two before the website is back in full update mode. Thankfully a full backup of data was made just a week ago. Most of the more recent updates have been Gala pictures on www.wsr.org.uk and I will need to drag these files back from the webserver. The hard drive also held the content for the WSRA website (www.wsra.org.uk) and the WSSRT website (www.wssrt.co.uk) and a number of other websites. Oh, fun and games...

After the Gala...

... a few hundred pictures arrive by email. So I'm a bit bogged down with resizing and thumbnailing and captioning and uploading. But there does seem to be a demand so that's great. Meantime a few great stories are breaking and I will break off to deal with those in the next day or so. Those who have submitted images, but not yet seen them online, please bear with me.

Wet Wet Wet

A call from Bishops Lydeard asking for help in asking visitors to the Gala to leave their cars at the Silk Mill Park and Ride and use the free heritage bus to and from the WSR station. Why the call? It seems the recent rains have transformed the two fields adjacent to the station into a lake or at best beavily waterlogged. The fields are used as for overspill parking during busy WSR events. Thus the need to alert visitors. So, I decided to add a whole new section on the front page about the Gala. This gives more prominence to the event itself and the chance to put the parking message up front. Hope it works. And dries out.
