Due to the increasing number of registrations by unscrupulous internet users using invalid gmail accounts (currently between 10-20 per day), I have been forced to ban all registrations using Gmail email.
I anyone wishes to use their Gmail account, please contact me using the email address found at http://thorpe-hesley.co.uk/aboutme.htm and I will arrange for suitable exclusions allowing successful registration.
I will review this rule in a few weeks, in the meantime, please accept my apologies for having to put this in place, but it is necessary to prevent the website being swamped with unwanted traffic and possible unwanted or unsuitable postings.
Richard.
