Hi Lois, I don't think it is Jane who is closing the site down, but Geocities (Yahoo). My own website was closed down by them recently. I think they are reorganising their organisation and cutting out what they consider 'dead wood'. My own site has over they years been a means of people contacting me about my family history research. I shall miss this, but time doesn't stand still and things do change, unfortunately. I have many happy memories of the old Black Country organisation and our B.C. Reunions - I propose a toast to all past members and new ones also. Remember our Christmas and New Year toasts around the world. Oh happy days! Love to all, Yorkie
