New Look Website

Here it is...


Following on from a joint meeting in 2009 of the BSTP Council and Education Sub-committee, it was felt that the website was in need of a change.  There were also additional features we wanted from our website such as the ability to have multiple editors and a member's only area for more sensitive content.



Although the "new site" has gone live (you're looking at it now), it is very much a work in progress.  We have made a "clean" look to the site,and I hope you would agree this is more contemporary;  we have the ability to appoint editors who can place additional content on the site (reducing the burden on the webmaster) and we have a Member's Only Area.
