Hi folks! We're still working to restore pages and posts to News in the Grove's website - our hands are tied as we await the mercies of the company that provides the backend for our publishing platform. While I can publish new stories (sort of - new stories will be wiped when our old content is restored!), our events calendar is temporarily down. I'm hoping this is resolved in the next few hours, but there are a couple of important events I didn't want to miss today and tomorrow. Details in the comments. - Chas
