Why have a Private section?
The primary intention of this section is to hold technical insights contributed by our most technically capable members and especially articles that have been especially written for the club. It was felt in recognition that it is only through our membership that we have both the knowledge and the funds to be able to provide this information that in turn it should be restricted to those who are indirectly supporting it.
What will be here?
Initially the workshop will be used primarily for technical articles some of which will have already have been published in the club magazine, others which been created just for this site. In future this may be expanded to include other club specific matters.
The following articles are available.
The late Brian Rylance whoacted as the clubs technical advisor for many years, contributed a large number of technical tips, these are listed below.
