ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The web-site in it’s original format was designed with a particular client population in mind. Much of that has been retained in the rebuild but mention must be made of the “SLIPSTREAM CLUB”. This Fife based branch of the R.A.F.A. first reaction was  a warm welcome to our launch on the WWW  and an offer of access to whatever they had which might be of use..
This friendly gesture made a great impression; thanks !
Do pay the Slipstream Club  a visit. They have rebuilt their site to very high standards with a range of up to the minute techniques which reflect their expert knowledge of ‘Java’ whereas our webmaster still remains addicted to Nescafe!
You will find them at www.rafaslipstreamclub.co.uk


Within the Branch there has been a warm level of support and advice [some of it humorous, but much appreciated ] and there are those who have; to their surprise,  put pen to paper as well as those who appeared with a complete page on disc.
It is a matter of historical fact that the New Town of Cumbernauld was built on a diameter with the villages of Cumbernauld and Condorrat at either end. The town has a main library in the Town Centre and a number of ‘local’ libraries around the periphery including the Condorrat Library - photo above.
It is also a fact that the Webmaster had a growing collection of family pictures and data all becoming less accessible. Already impressed with the unfailing courtesy and help of the Condorrat Staff the decision was taken to assemble the varied collection  in the form of a disc based “web-site”. Circumstances changed; again, and the decision was taken to build a web-site for Branch 1355 of the Royal Air Forces Association for public use in ‘cyberspace’.
Once again the Library became the basic resource for this venture and you; the user, will judge the success of this venture. We can do no more than express our gratitude for all the help and courtesy shown to us,by the Library Staff, over the years.

SERIF is well known as a supplier of mid-priced software which competes against the giants of the industry at significantly less cost.
This web-site was produced on Draw Plus 7, Photo Plus 8 and Page Plus 8 and then Page Plus 9. This latter represented a significant advance on previous versions and it’s ability to handle layers and basic drawing tasks never ceased to astonish.
A total rebuild of the site in the early months of 2005 was completed to every ones’ satisfaction.
Mention must be made of the SERIF web-site where the inexperienced can contact other enthusiasts in the Forums. The response to published problems is unbelievably swift and friendly.
