Welcome to our update of the NEWGA website. First and foremost I would like to thank Randy Warobick for everything that he has done over the years to keep us up to date with all that NEWGA has to offer. Due to other commitments, Randy has asked me to help out and I am very happy to donate my time. When you see Randy, please take time to thank him for his service.

Please note that the transfer to the new format will be a work in progress and I ask that you remain patient while we work out any bugs and continue to get everything in place. With this first redesign my intent is to provide a more classic format and to simplify the navigation to the different sections. This was the most time consuming aspect of the project and from here we can easily modify the design, make changes and add information. Since many of us now use Blackberries, iPhones and other wireless phones to track results and look up dates, I am avoiding the use of Flash. This is a tool that allows for many sites that you visit to have all kinds of moving parts, animations etc. It makes for a dynamic looking site, but is not compatible with most mobile devices. One major thing on my "to do" list is to have a link to a Facebook page for NEWGA as many of us have become accustomed to receiving information this way.

Thank you for your time and understanding as we embark on this transition. I welcome any and all comments and suggestions. Please e-mail me at the address below.
