With the deepest sadness.... As some of you may know, in November of last year my brother, Mark, was taken into intensive care, He was in a coma until earlier this year, after a long battle with total organ failure, Mark, my brother, my hero, passed away in our arms last Thrusday, he ment more to me than anyone will ever understand. In January of this year we also had to say goodbye to our Basset hound of 14 years, "Matthew". Anyone who had the pleasure in meeting Matthew will also understand on how that has effected us. These are the reasons i havn't been spending much time on the forum in recent months. With the deepest sadness I have decided to close the forum in the near future to get back to getting out and spending more personal time enjoying myself and spending more time with my family. I just dont have the time or finances to commit to the forum and all that goes with it, i wish i did. I'm not saying goodbye to the sport, and plan on getting out as much as possible and will keep you all updated on what i'm upto via my facebook pages and podcast site. I'd like to thank EVERYONE who has helped behind scenes as well as EVERYONE who has had any input with the site, its been a great few years. With much love, Appo

Thank you...
