Webmaster's April 2024 Updates

The REME Workshops photo shot page was broken. This was due to the use of Google Maps API on the page not working as this is no longer free. The interactive map has been replaced with a static map showing the image locations. Unfortunately, the map locations are no longer interactive, however, a gallery of the images is now available and the images can be enlarged by clicking on the thumbnails in the gallery.

The list of committee officers and members has been updated.
