New BCCT Web Site

The old BCCT Web Site long ago became unmaintainable, due to the ancient language in which it was originally written.  Michael Stove did sterling work keeping it going over the last years but has now commissioned a complete new website, which will go live very soon.

The site addy has always been www.2119.org.au and the new site should be the same address when it goes live in the next week or so. 

Please bear with us as we slowly populate the site with submissions, minutes of meetings, articles of public interest and so on.  One trick for the unwary is that submissions are at the moment identified by entry date, typically 3 Feb 2013, which does not reflect the date of the original document, which might be 2008 or earlier.
