Weather & Extenuating Circumstances
Global circumstances out of our control, eg. severe weather fronts and other outside forces may occasionally cause unforeseen delays. As soon as these circumstances have passed, we will continue to gather your data as normal. Naturally we would discuss any delays with you directly, if it became necessary.
We will endeavour to post all current weather and warnings where possible, into the relevant section of our forum the "Warm Room"
Our Spanish Location has two wet seasons, one in Autumn and the other in late spring which tends to be the most erratic of the two. some years we has had an extended spring wet season that has meant the the whole of April has been lost. If this does happen it is unavoidable with current global weather trends like global warming.

General Posting Guidelines
We figured this was necessary because a lot of people come in and post threads without thinking, and without realizing that there is no possible way they could get help because of the way they posted the question. Here are some general guidelines.
1. Please use SEARCH first!
• There is a pretty good chance that unless you have some really odd or unique problem that it has been addressed on our forum before, please use the forum’s search feature first to see if there are already some good threads on the subject. It’s easy to search – just click the “Search” button at the top right of the page.
2. Be DESCRIPTIVE and Don’t use “stupid” topic names
• PLEASE post a descriptive topic name! Give a short summary of your problem IN THE SUBJECT. (Don’t use attention getting subjects, they don’t get attention and only annoy people).
• Remember when people help you, they are doing YOU a favor
• Be patient, help people out by posting good descriptions of what you need help with.
