I run the board because over 20 years ago I found Mike Ellison' Hebburn.org site and started posting on it and recognised it was a great idea Mike had started. Then as you know Mike decided to call it a day and handed it over to Vikki Lawlor who ran it until 2016 and decided to close without much notice that weekend. She wouldn't pass it on so I quickly created my own Forum and tried letting regulars know my plan via 'her' site.
I think we lost some good regulars who missed my a anouncement.Then just days later (Nov 2016) this Forum began operating.
Is that what you guessed David?
