At this time of year I am reminded of all our boys and girls who aren't at home this Christmas...some in far away places and those who are standing a shift on UK stations whilst we feast and make merry. Without those people stepping up to the mark our country would be not be as safe as it is and our way of lives not so assured. We all thank you for that effort and sacrifice of your time with loved ones and we hope you all return safely for a belated celebration soon.
14 months ago the Goat changed hands to me. I set two objectives which would keep the place afloat and give us something to build upon which were financial and technical stability. You can't enjoy the Goat if you can't see it and we can give it to you with insufficient funds in the bank.I can report to you that we are happy to claim those objectives as complete.
For next year I want to set two new objectives and you can all help with both of them. The first is to achieve a new look Goat. Same ethos but just a new look about it to keep things fresh. TalkWrench will be canvassing you all soon in a thread for ideas and opinions. The second is to make a donation to a charity by 31/12/16. it may just be £100-200 initially but I want us to have an effect on something by then and you when the time is right can help us to identify something worthy.
I want to thank TAlkWrench and all the admins and Mods...TW has worked ever so hard to get the site stable and the mods have hung in there and kept the place safe.
All that remains for me to do is wish you all a very Merry Christmas, whether serving or retired, whether young or old, you are all welcome and valued here on the Goat so have a good one!
