As we enter into the report season the SURFs are now up and operational for the first official use. Through many tests and revisions we have a final product, but as with every live launch of something new, there are no doubt going to be some hiccups so please give this feedback to your relevant Command Staff to pass on to the Internet Department or contact the Internet Department directly.

The new reports can be found at www.star-fleet.com/webb/command/reports which links to all the relevant forms for all the positions that submit monthly fleet report forms.

Please contact the IDept for any assistance in using the reports.

The Awards have been held and the winners of each award has been announced. The drinks flowed freely and many from the ranks of www.star-fleet.com were in attendance ... my thanks goes to each of the presenters who presented awards ... including those who were called on to present at the last minute. I also want to especially thank Jack Dipper ... who assisted with setting up many of the awards for me ... in an effort to take of some of the load from me, especially during February.

The following is a list of the award winners

Morning all,

With Rob's departure as Marketing and Advertising Coordinator, we're going to be on the lookout for a new one. This is an outstanding opportunity for anyone who has been looking to serve in a governmental capacity and give back a little something to the club we all love.

A sucessfull applicant will:

- Be enthusiastic and driven
- Have a number of very clear ideas to help develop and enhance our online presence
- Have a background in advertising or customer relations, though training will be provided and this is not essential.
