We had a big spam attach today, about 200 spam messages in the forum.
I have deleted them all manually, updated everything I could on the website and made a back up.
I will look into ways of deterring the spammers ASAP!

Other subjects we are looking into are badgers and herbs.
Do you have a subject that you would like to see at one of our meetings?
If so, let us know and we’ll see what we can do
Hi all,

To see this option you need to have your website account upgraded to SSG Member if you haven’t already done so.
To get the upgrade email me (Lee Dyson) from the Contact Us page, tell me your log on name and your real name, I can then upgrade you as soon as possible
