PLEASE
LET US HAVE YOUR LATEST NEWS.
As a
consequence of the loss of our past dtp software, we are no
longer able to update the main database of alumni, but happily
are able to maintain it in its current form.
If you
have any news of your own, or any news of other alumni, please
let us know and we will add it to an appropriate section of this
site.
THE
TOTAL NUMBER OF ALUMNI IN THE MAIN DATABASE SECTION NOW EXCEEDS
440.
PLEASE CONTINUE
TO SEND US YOUR NEWS. YOUR PHOTOS, YOUR COMMENTS.
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.
Please bring this
website to the notice of any past Sea Containers staff you may
know and ask them to contact us.
