Editorial

There seems to be a problem replying to some of our members by e-mail. A while back bt.com email addresses would not accept mail from HGS. Now live.com.au email servers are rejecting our mail. There is a work around as we have to forward your email to our own private email so we can then reply. If you receive any emails from private accounts, please continue to use the HGS addresses to send information into us, then, should any of us be unwell, your email can be processed by another officer of the society. The three records offices in Hampshire, Portsmouth, Southampton and Hampshire at Winchester have reopened. However, please check with them whether there are restricted opening hours and whether there is an increased time needed to make records available so you do not have a wasted journey. Articles in this issue: Carrying on from the last journal is Part 2 of the Southampton Footballers by David Bull.
