There are four “types” of visitors to this web site:

- View the details of each event if it has been posted in one of the open forums
- Browse any of the public Galleries (not the craft registration/licence images gallery)

If you aren’t a official and would like to comment on anything you see in this forum then please either email any committee member or start a new thread in the Hover Talk forum.
