Launching Our New Website

Thanks to Gary Torbett and Graham Boyd for last night's presentation to launch our new website.  Around 60 members were at Kilmarnock College to learn a little about the website and our discussion forum.  Gary took us through the procedure to access the Forum and how to register as a Follower, which will enable members to contribute items of interest or observations to the Forum.
Graham demonstrated how to access the Historic Scotland and "Buildings at Risk" websites.  He also briefly described how to access old pictures of Kilmarnock on the East Ayrshire Council site.
Members were given a lot of information in a relatively short time, but hopefully the handout supplied will enable them to have a look at some of the websites which were discussed.
Our next meeting will be on Tuesday 22 February at 7.30pm, when Sandra Liquorish will talk to us about her own home, "Fairlie House", which has some interesting Robert Burns connections.
You can see from the picture why it is known locally as "Fairlie Five Lums"!.
