SURF's up

Hi all
This post is indebted to my Community Representative colleague, Steve Byrne, from Campbeltown, Argyll.

Anyone interested in more details about this network, please leave your comment, including your e-mail address and phone number on this blog. Your blogger will make sure your details are forwarded to Steve, but not published here.
