Welcome everyone! Warmest hugs to returning wrimos and polite handshakes to newbies as we're not sure if they like being hugged by strangers and don't want them to think we have boundary issues and scare them off.
Nah, that's dull, warm hugs for everyone!
My name is Leigh, and I (with the help of my lovely assistant/hubby markie) will be your ML for the duration of the festivities. I'm taking over from Casey, who did a wonderful job last year but is sadly back in America now, and as much as she loved the cake shakes last year it's a bit far to travel for a write-in.
I'm based in Lancaster, but our regional members span from around Preston up to Kendal, and beyond, so if you feel you're ready for a stronger regional commitment than England::Elsewhere and you live in the general area we'd love to have you :o)
I think that's enough from me for now. I'll leave you to find your way around the new features and get to know each other, and I look forward novelling with you all in November!
Leigh

Aw, thanks, Leigh :) You guys made it easy to do a great job, though! And if I had the time and/or money, I would so come visit during November! :P
