November 2009
- Access to this site
was renewed via Joe Sinclair's personal website.
The Domain Name SCOLD
was allowed to expire in 2004 as a consequence of the lack of
support from potential contributors of material and lack of
interest in paying the (albeit small) fee for renewal.
Several expressions of
regret in the "demise" of the site and of interest in seeing it
renewed resulted in this initiative.
It does need support in the form of information about
the whereabouts and activities of past and current members of
the Sea Containers' organisation.
The following notices
are repeated from the earlier version of the SCOLD site.
August 11, 2003
- We have added a Notice Board section. Please let us have any
items you wish to submit (subject to their passing obscenity and
libel laws) and we will be happy to include them.
DIRECTORY
- The main database now has more than 250 names.
The directory is
continually updated, but very little information is being
provided.
Considering that the
number of staff members who have passed through the Sea
Containers portals over the years must now run into four
figures, we are clearly missing a great many of them.
Please bring this
website to the notice of any past Sea Containers staff you may
know and ask them to contact us.
