We are now building up a fine collection of your photographs . However building a site like this does take some time. Please accept our apologies, if you have noticed a constant change to the design of the site. Over the past twelve months quite a lot of hard work has gone into making this site, we have tried to find the right look, feel, and overall usability, not to mention the content. We also apologies to those of you who are using a Netscape Browser, this site works best with Internet Explorer 4, 5.5 and 6. We use popup windows to display the photographs, this allows you to view a picture without having to continually press the back button to return to the photo gallery. We have found that some Netscape browsers have problems. To get the best from the site we recommend you view it at 800 x 600 using IE.

Please remember that photos can take longer to download, so please be patient when waiting for images to download. Try the Blaster below for a good example of how your group photo's can be displayed on the site.
