Popular Post Andy Posted October 19, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 Many will be aware that Trials Central has provided and operated the official website for the Scottish Six Days Trial since 2015. By mutual agreement with the organising Club, that arrangement has now come to an end. The Club were keen to take the site back in-house and, for me it was an awful lot of work with SSDT week itself being a non-stop run of 16-hour minimum days. I don’t even do that kind of hours for the job that pays the mortgage! It had become an obligation more than something I enjoyed doing and when you stop enjoying something, it’s time to move on and do something else. This is a totally amicable agreement and the Club have full access to everything on the current website to port over to the new one they are having built so none of the extensive historical information that’s been added over the past five years should be lost. I don't know when this new site will be up and running, but the current one will remain in place till then, it just won't be updated any more. 6 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wetfeet Posted October 19, 2019 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 Andy your superb work with the Scottish Six days website will be missed by all of us, i totally understand the reason as the hours you put into the website is unbelievable, i don't think joe public actually realise how much work you did during the 10 days you are in Fort William, not only keeping the scores up to date but the fantastic pictures you took on a daily basis, i really hope you will be heading up to Fort William even if it is only for a few days, i for one will miss the banter if your not there, thank you for all your work over the years my friend 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markwhitham Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) On behalf of the Edinburgh & District MC I would like to thank Andy for the 30 years of time dedication and expertise he has given the SSDT. Andy first became involved with the Scottish Six Days way back in 1989 when, as an employee of NCR (National Cash Registers) then the main trial sponsor, he was tasked with the ground-breaking deed of upgrading the SSDT results system from good old pen and paper to fully computerised. To this end, Andy devised, implemented and oversaw the implementation of this all-important backroom task for many years, before moving on to set up the dedicated Scottish Six Days website which he then hosted, looked after and upgraded over the years. There is no doubt that Andy has been an important part of the event over the last 30years. We wish Andy the best of luck in his new ventures.
