Hi ,
I am very worried that our club is going to fizzle away to nothing if we
 all do not do something to stop it .
I know that there are people who are working behind the scenes , but they
need our help.
 Vince for example who is getting the website going.

http://curveddasholdsmobileclub.com

The Forum on the website is what needs supporting at the moment, if we can
get members to post or reply to questions then at least we stand a chance ,
I have managed to do this, it was not very difficult, I was surprised how
easy.

If we do nothing we will have no club.

We will only have this one chance to continue our club
Please put a post on the website forum , get your kids to show you how to
master this forum.
