January 2008 - Thanks to the work done initially by Martin Godden and then by Hayley Hawes and Richard Swindells the new BARCS web site is live. You may need to change your bookmark to:-

Click BARCS.co.uk to get to the web site

For nearly 10 years Claranet has hosted the BARCS website on the web space they provided as part of my ISP package. When this filled up some of the site was hosted in the space provided by Free-online.net

Both of these commercial organisations provided excellent, low cost service.

During the last couple of years Richard Swindells has also provided server space. His is not a commercial service and he has provided this space free of charge to BARCS. Richard also runs the excellent bulletin board that now has an International reputation - so thanks from all of us to Richard.
