The Manchesterbirding forum has just registered it's 100th member, in just around 4 months, not bad going .

My current statistics for the website are just over 14000 visits and 400000 hits for the same period, so a huge thank you to you all

Considering it took me a long time to even get around to thinking about 'doing a website' the response to it has been overwhelming and all of this is of course down to you, it's users. I am, as always, willing to consider any ideas others may have (and will atleast give you a decent reason when I say no ) and would welcome anyone to contact me, though preferably by my private email or telephone (check 'who's who' on the website).

Thanks again and I hope you continue to enjoy both the website and it's forum, roll on spring when it'll be really busy

(after writing this post I realised a delirious Mr Woosey had already beaten me to it and posted one. However, I have inlcuded mine anyway, mainly 'cos it's my forum and I can do that sort of thing and will indeed agree to Mr Woosey's seemingly ridiculous offer of me buying all 100 of you dinner. Sometime during next month I shall be dining out , so no coming round to my house, somewhere in Greater Manchester and if you all happen to be there on that very day at that very location I will indeed buy you all dinner. Where and when? Not gonna tell you that am I now )
