The weblog has two functions: firstly, it is a way to keep the website content up to date; secondly, it is hoped that it will also function as a forum where members can post articles and comment on existing posts. You can even post pictures!<br /><br />More and more EMAS members have Internet access, so that the weblog is a logical step forward for the EMAS site.<br /><br />We hope that you will register with the weblog, and we hope to see posts from you in the near future!<br /><br />If you would like to register with the weblog so that you can post articles, please write to: <a href="mailto:weblog@emas.uk.net">weblog@emas.uk.net</a>EMAS Admin
