As so of you know may remember, I started this club following the old one (Stratclub.com, Stratossupersite.com) disappearing.
Overnight I bought the forum, the domain, and other software, and then over the next 18 hours built it all.
Now we had everything to start this club as our own, instead of paying others as previously, and having nothing, and I have looked after it since then.
Thankfully some of the old club members found this club, some did not!
The time has come to now pass it on. It's now time for someone else to step up and run it, and make it better.
I will help the new Webmaster as much as I can until they have got to grips with it so as not to leave you all in the lurch, but I will not be looking after the site or backups following the AGM.
The Club has purchased a laptop for the person who takes over and all the software you need will be on it.
I'm happy in the knowledge that the club I'm leaving is in a better place then any previous sites you have had before.
Kind Regards
Ian
That's for sure Ian.
Sad news that yourself and Jayne are passing on the battens.
Can I be the first to say a huge thank you to you both?!
Thank you John.
The club is excellent, a credit to everyone involved, Thank You Ian & Jayne, see you at the AGM.
Tim.
Over the years, there's been a few take on the running of the club etc, bit of a thankless task.
Thank-you Ian and Jayne for all you have done.
As JH has just said these positions are often a thankless task.... So thanks very much to Ian and Jayne for all your efforts they are greatly appreciated..... I trust that you will not be disappearing from the club
cheers

All the best Dag.Originally Posted by The Slug

We have all by now had the chance to read and discuss Ian's comments, yet no one appears to have grasped the severity of his resignation as Webmaster.
As many have posted their appreciation of the tremendous amount of time and effort Ian has put into the rebirth of this very popular club / website, without him none of this would have happened. and it will END / FINISH if no one comes forward to manage the website (simple as).
Ian has done a fantastic job of pulling this club together after the "Strat Club" Died. Its taken a lot of hard graft to get this Club up and running, and the majority of the work has been done by Ian, closely followed by Carol. I cannot find a level high enough to thank Ian enough for what he has done selflessly for this club. But all I can do is say THANK YOU IAN. I do hope all the rest of you will also show your appreciation, because without this club you will have no one to ask when your build hits a snag or what part fits what and where to get one etc etc etc.
It seem such a waste after all the tremendous effort Ian has put into this site, HIS site, ( some of the members of the previous "Strat Club" site falsely think this club is owned by Gerry (Hawk cars) IT IS NOT. so those members who think that, I suggest you keep it out untill you KNOW what your on about).Sorry about that but I cant stand idle Whingers. You know the type, Tell you how it should be done but run a mile when asked for help.
We don't need a computer genius,( Ian's done all that), the Website is PERFECT AS IT IS. It wont need any alterations just regular updated and dealing with the less capable members who cant find their way on the site, or have pressed the wrong buttons. Anything more than that Ian has said he would help with untill the new Webmaster gets to grips with the site.
If you think that you could do this, PLEASE let us know, even if you just want to know what the job involves, YOU will not be press ganged into the job just for asking. PM Ian or myself with a contact no and we'll have a chat.
Thanks for taking the time to read.
Mel
SEC Chairman
I have only just joined the club, having been luck enough (I think) to acquire a Stratos Rep.
Ian has been great for the short time I have been here, and would be happy to discuss whats entailed with the running of the site, I work in IT, and have done web design and hosting before, just need to look at how much time needs to be set aside to keep it going
I will be at Stoneleigh this year
Will PM my mobile across to you if you want to chat this weekend
Regards Steve
