Regular readers and contributors
will have noticed a revamped feel to the website with the Forum now displaying
details, especially regarding Postings in the Forum, in quite a unique and
novel way. 

So… Welcome!.. to the
‘new-look’ BMPT Forum.

The costs involved with the
hosting and maintenance of the website have been the subject of many
discussions ‘off line’ and much worry by the owner, Richard Hellyer. However, the
good news now is that the website has a secure future; the continued support of
its many well wishers, plus a new sponsor, the IBTC
Lowestoft - International Boatbuilding Training College, have turned around
what was a very uncertain and bleak view of the future of this website.

	We are pleased to have recovered the two websites at www.bmpt.org.uk and www.bmpt.co.uk from the brink of extinction - many thanks to IBTC for their timely assistance. We were plagued with spammers, mainly from China, and had to close the Forum for a while. We have now put in place tight security that should see most of them off. So for the time being it is business as usual! Edited by ForumManager - 16 May 2013 at 5:05pm
