A Message from The President
This DoubleClick is the first post to appear on the club’s brand new website which has come to
fruition thanks to the tireless efforts of two of our Directors, Brian Elston and Stephen Wood.
For the past couple of years MaUsE’s old website had been rapidly disintegrating and Brian
had devoted many, many hours to keep it, against all odds, hobbling along. But it was only a
matter of time before it became beyond repair. It was time for a new web-site. On Brian’s
recommendation the club’s executive gave him the go-ahead to make that happen.
Stephen volunteered, using Brian’s help and guidance, to build us a new website.
In July Stephen started the new build, produced a BETA version for the club’s executive to test,
took many diverse recommendations from the club’s Directors under consideration, and, by the
end of the month it was complete and ready to go live! And GO LIVE it did on August 4th.
Brian and Stephen working together have done the club proud. Stephen has done a great job
on the new build whilst Brian has ensured that it meets both the club’s needs and the many
technical requirements of a public website.
To Brian: I offer the club’s sincere thanks for all his many hours of work these past two years
in keeping the old site hobbling along, for putting together all the specific information required
in order for the new build to take place, and for acting as Stephen’s mentor during the process
of building the actual website.
To Stephen: I offer the club’s equally sincere thanks for having the skill required, and for donating the time, effort and the patience, and for having the gifted vision to build us a fully functional, modern web-site, the club’s great new electronic face to the world.
Well done Stephen!
The club is fortunate to be graced by the generous dedication of these two directors.
