4) Links
Including
links to members' blogs & websites, a link to a news
report about "lock bumping", and 3 fun links at
the very bottom.
I would like to start including links
to some of our members' blogs & websites from time to time. Partly
to let our members see what other members are producing, and partly
because a link from the TBCS website can help increase your status in the
search engines. Please send your links to the Club Secretary.
Please don't include any XXX stuff -- the most that I will link
to would be an R-rated site. Thanks.
We keep adding classes. Our
instructors scheduling new classes almost every week now. Make sure
you check that section of the newsletter to see if we have something of
interest for you.
