Doc Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I would like to take this opportunity to tell our members that Baz (Martyn) has stepped down from his admin position due to personal reasons. He will still be a member of the forum and I would like to thank him for all his hard work and contributions he has made towards EMS. I have also decided to step down as admin due to a long running illness that is gradually getting worse and needs medical attention. I will still be a member of the forum, but need to take a back seat with the running of EMS. This means that Darren and Mike will become the new admins and I wish them every success in their new roles. Bottletopburly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perkil8r Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I'd like to thank both Martyn and Mick for all the effort they have both put in to EMS over the years. EMS really would not be what it is today had it not been for them and others along the way. Doc, Bottletopburly and Brantuk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daz Type-R Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I too would like to echo Mikes comments above. Mick was one of the founders of EMS and all the hard work he and all the other past moderators and admins have put in is truely appreciated. I wish both Martyn and Mick all the best,I hope their situations improve and that they continue to be a part of the forum in the future.

Popular Post Brantuk Posted January 28, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 28, 2017 Sorry to hear you're stepping down Martyn and Mick. You guys started a terrific astronomy group and forum and put a lot of work into it over the years for which I'm sure we're all very grateful. You've left a lasting legacy in EMS that amateur astronomers will enjoy for many years to come and we can all be thankful for that. I hope both your situations improve and soon. Wishing loads of luck and every success to Mike and Daz taking over the reins, I have every confidence they will continue to make EMS the great place it is today.

Popular Post BAZ Posted January 28, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 28, 2017 Stepping down from Admin has been one of the hardest decisions I have had to make, but I have realised that I don't have the time or motivation to devote to the forum and the hobby. Things have got difficult for me on a personal level and this will be resolved one way or the other. This forum has some great folks who are prepared to go that extra mile to make sure that others get the rewards from the hobby and to keep pushing their own limits. I am sorry to hear that Micks health is yet again causing concern and hope that he is able to get the treatment he needs to feel better and recover. Best wishes mate. We all have things that get in the way of life, but sometimes stuff comes along which becomes a major issue and needs to be sorted out. This can be a number of things for different people, but there is never such a thing as an easy life. When you think you have it figured, it slaps you in the face and reminds you where you stand. I have met some amazing people through this community and some have become life long personal friends, this will not change. When I get back to an even keel again I will continue with this hobby and become more involved again, I will remain a member and keep popping in and attend events where I can. I have no doubt that Mike and Darren will keep the forum moving in the right direction and wish them well, please give them your heartiest support. Thank you Martyn.
