I applied to join this forum about a year ago and had pretty much given up on the idea that I'd be admitted - especially when I read some posts on the topic. But yesterday I got an email to say my account has been activated. So this is just to say hello and I'm looking forward to joining the discussions when appropriate.
Welcome Gavin! Indeed, we're all more or less aware than this board is a ship adrift, but I never realized before that also subscribing is such a pain for new members. What a pity. In the mess of the so called "social media", this old-fashioned forum is a blessed island, and it's still pretty active too.

Yes, it does seem a shame that there may be potential new members out there who have given up waiting and gone away. There does seem to be good, active and interesting discussion going on.

Welcome Gavin! You already know who I am! I am looking forward to the Northern meet that I can attend in May. Lovely no.3. I hope to have one in my collection one day! I recently obtained a New Style No.4 from the SAS auction.

Hi Gavin,
Welcome. I’m only round the corner in Leeds!
Think there are quite a few Yorkshire based people here.

Hi Gavin, just a welcome and thank you for posting that picture of your nice G&T style 3.
Jamie also in the CLPGS. Anyone else in Hertfordshire?
