We started keeping a paper scrapbook in 1996
- long before digital cameras made this a simple process!!
We weren't always as consistent as we might have been, so the coverage and
details varied year-by-year.
Eventually, we scanned our scrapbook and loaded it up onto a website. It's
been growing ever since.
Videos appeared along the way and they have been added to Youtube - they
are indexed here.
