     A special "Thank-You" to L&CPU Executive Committee Member, Adrian Lines MPAGB ARPS ABPE for creating the slideshows of our last two competitions. Moreover, he is the author of the  L&CPU Portal database and competition management system which is streamlining all our management processes, keeping efficiency up and costs down. He works closely with Ian Aldcroft in making sure the L&CPU makes best use of the new technology.

Please be alert to email scams: nobody is stranded abroad and in need of money and if you receive an email which contains only a link to a website don't click on it.

Our CLUBS page on this website has some basic information about each club.

If need be, email the Webmaster for details.
