For me, clicking also doesn't work, and reloading didn't help either. I had to right-click and 'copy link' and paste the link into a browser. It then worked. The differences are interesting. Can you remember roughly which year that change took place, Andrew? From the older to the old? Roughly Octob...

Thank you Neil. I am a fairly low monkey on the tree, so the creation of a new Editor's position and the granting of an honorarium is way outside my sphere of influence. I have cut out and kept the other points you make in both your brief and your full critique, and if the YB survives another year (...

Hello Neil Was your list of editorial deficiencies communicated to the office, can you say, or to me in particular, whose task it is to compile the yearbook?

Actually this is deliberate, but not necessarily permanent. The website is moving to its new theme soon, and I have been working in the background when time allows disabling and repurposing plugins and widgets that we may not need.

Tim --- Gary Willson, the office manager, was taking the minutes for the Board meeting on Friday [4/3/16].
