Updates:
Recently replaced the DIRT blog follow button so it now works. For those of you who have been asked to follow and accepted, please let me know if you get this update, send me a separate email - thank you.
Working on a new googlegroups approach where anyone in our club can post a topic (question) and others can then answer it if they have something to contribute (all using email - no new technology required). I hope this will help with breaking down brick walls. This is in beta test with several of our members and will go live after discussion at the next DIRT meeting on 12 Feb 2020.
