The Eastbourne site is now over 18 gb in size. In order to facilitate easier loading, all photographs taken before 2007 will be removed from the site this week. Many new photographs will be added including the recent Cambridge visit. The photo archives will be kept in storage but will not be available for viewing or downloading on the web.
