Introducing Robin Buckland

[Paul FreshneyParticipant @paulfreshney24971]

Change in Website Management

As regular forum users will know, Colin Bishop has looked after this website and forum on my behalf for more than five years now, and for that I am very grateful.

However, from 1st April 2014, Robin will be managing (and editing) this Model Boats website, but Colin Bishop is continuing as the Website Forum Moderator and supporting him as needs be.

This change has come about principally because Colin after these five years or so of looking after the website (putting-up articles, managing it etc. which is all time consuming stuff) plus keeping a 24/7 eye on the forum would like a little more personal time, to make model boats amongst other things!

Robin has looked after the Military Modelling Website for some years now and is very familiar with the vagaries of how the MyTimeMedia website platforms work. He is of course an expert and highly regarded military modeller and will also be contributing one our two articles to Model Boats in the near future.

So, I welcome Robin to the team and Colin is also happy to have a little less work to do, but still remain active on this forum.

At the time when that photograph was taken Sir Anthony Eden was Prime Minister. It is simply the most flattering picture I have of me. Remember that age isn't just in the mind; it's frequently all around the waist. too.

Welcome Robin, and thank you to Colin Bishop for all his hard work over the past 5 years.

Enjoy the beautiful Lake District, Colin, I hope the weather is kind to you. I have fond memories of our time in that part of England on our last visit, in 2008, when the weather was perfect.

Peter.

[Robin Buckland 2Participant @robinbuckland2]

Hi Colin, Thanks for your note, I hope you are enjoying the Lake District, a lovely part of the world.

Hi Peter, Thank you.

Hello Robin

A belated welcome from me.
I hope that you enjoy you tenure here as much as we have enjoyed having Colin look after us.
I also hope that you don’t find us boring after the excitement of the military site.

All the best

Is Vinnie Branagan still active on the Military scene?

Give him our regards please, if you bump into him?

Bob and Paul

[shipwrightParticipant @shipwright]

A warm welcome to Robin Buckland. Also thank you to Colin Bishop for managing this website/forum over the past few years.

Ian

[Robin Buckland 2Participant @robinbuckland2]

Hi Paul, Thank you. Colin is still here to look after the forum, so I'll be looking after the 'back room' stuff mainly.

Hi Bob, I took over the Mil Mod site after Vinnie left MyHobbystore, and he set up a site of his own. I haven't seen him for a few years now.

Ian, Thank you.

Robin
