| Conway Club Web SIte
I’ve
completely rebuilt the club website using new software (Wordpress)
although the bulk of the content is still broadly the same. A lot of
work but I hope you think it looks much better, particularly the proper
drop down menus. It has a Conway family format so the Friends and Club
sites look similar. My next job is to revamp the main site but that is
going to be many many weeks of work.
The new site includes a full online shop so you can now buy from
anywhere in the world using bank transfer or any card and any currency.
There are lots of new things on sale and you can also buy your Teaser
Club and Conway Club subscriptions online. I’ve added new security
software so back issues if all the (new) The Cadet magazines are now
online. The password is in the new issue you should receive any day now.
