GxFF Co-ord (s) !
I am delighted to announce that Darius M0KCB will be joining the GxFF Team. Darius will be well known to many of you, as he has been very active in GxFF. He also brings a wealth of operating experience from other /P programmes, so will be a great addition to the team.
Initially Darius and I will work together, sharing the co-ord duties. This will give us a chance to progress things that have stalled over the last year or so and do some well overdue background admin. I then hope to step back, but will continue to support Darius and the team if and when required.
In the short term, please hold off chasing up previous submissions for possible new references etc or for submitting new requests or other suggestions about GxFF. We‘ll be working through a few previous requests as part of getting Darius familiar with the systems, so you may see some new references pop up. Once we are fully up,and running we will let you know.
