I now cover 133 active clubs.

Club news, recent changes

 Newsletter Features
 

The Parties section now links each party to my on-line website where the full details, the links to the organisers and to Facebook can be found. Let me know if you have any comments.

After asking about advertising on the website I've now added Google Ads to the web pages at www.davidsugarman.co.uk. Hopefully, any revenue will help pay for hosting and software.

I've realised that many people don't understand how to use the useful News feeds (Atom / RSS) or Calendar feeds (iCal). So, I've prepared a Netvibes page that collects together all of the information I produce. Click here for David's page.

Warning

If you see a warning triangle against a club it's because

  • I've not been able to track down a website for the organisers
  • In a couple of rare cases, the organisers have cancelled events with little warning

Listings are available on-line - starting at www.davidsugarman.co.uk.
