I have at last moved into the 21st century and bought a computer. Mind you,
it has taken a week to work out how to make a contribution to the Group (
thanks to the help of Philip Eden and Ron Button I have finally achieved
it!) .I look forward to many hours of following the reaction of the group to

Just to add to any advice given, Peter, you may want to slightly alter
the email address that outlook express 'shows' to the newsgroup so you
don't get an inbox full of spam!

Hmmm, hoping not to tempt fate, I've not receive tons of spam, I get the
odd bits but not so I cannot get into my mailbox. Perhaps it's just a
case of me being lucky.

TBH I don't get much, this email is only really used for ngs and I do
get a couple of 'mortgage approved' emails every day so someone must
have grabbed it from one of the ngs I suscribe to!

Hello Peter, welcome.

have a look at the Wokingham weather web page. Page 3 contains links, page 2

And we "oldies" (I'm a mere slip of a lad at 58) look forward to your
contributions.

Well Bernard as has got his commercial in first, I'll add mine.

I have a comprhensive list of weather links at:
http://www.weatherjack.co.uk
which includes a link to Bernard's excellent satpics.
There are also at present, some excellent photos of gliders, skies,
etc as entries in a competition I am organsing

As you are still young, why not consider gliding? I give specialised
forecasts in the summer soaring season. I don't joke about age. At
my club, I am often one of the youngest present - and I'm 66 in eleven
days time. (But I did start some 50 years ago so I guess it was a
little easier at 16 than it would be at 70)

Welcome indeed Peter ... I haven't been here long myself but everyone has
been nice, and kind, and helpful.

Now that I have said that, some thread will develop with torrents of abuse
of course (:

Anyway, greetings from north-eastern Scotland ... recently the warmest part
of the UK (but not for long).

Welcome aboard Peter! I too look forward also to those occasions when the
south-western fringes of London enjoy surprising contrasts in local weather -
in contrast to the uniform and monotonous shades of grey of the recent days.
There are bound to be times when you have sleet and snow to report and I only
see rain, alas..

yours,
