Hi, At the bottom of the Dorset list is this "Starting up - Cambridgeshire, Cheshire, Derbyshire, Surrey and North and West Ridings of Yorkshire, but no details yet" So the Yorkshire OPC is being worked on along with others, if and when the Yorkshire site becomes available I will gladly add what I can like on the Dorset list, but to become an OPC I will decline that like when asked for the Dorset site. My hat comes off to all the OPC's who work unpaid!!
