The intention is to sympatheticaly bring back a lot of the original beams, increase access to the much under used upstairs, extend the bar and introduce a strong fresh food offer. It will trade as a public house no 24 hour licence and no dj's etc. At this stage the intention is to stock some real ales and any suggestions are more than welcome."; Reply

This page is intended for regular visitors who want to find out what has changed in this site without having to trawl through loads of pages. By default, it offers changes from the last two weeks approx, except for the visitor postings which are limited to five (sometimes they can get overwhelming). You can change this (except for visitor postings) “by hand” by adding a query string on the end of the URL, of the form “month=(number of months)”. Thus you can look back one month by calling http://lunesdalecamra.org.uk/extra/new.php?month=1, one week (approximately) by month=0.25 and so on. You can use a big number like month=36 if you like but the result will be neither very convenient nor very meaningful. If you want to see old news and old postings, I recommend the archive pages. Once you have decided how often you want to revisit this site, you can bookmark the appropriate What's New page (Internet Explorer: add to favorites) and save the fiddling about.
