Hi Maggie!
Welcome.
Just coming to the end of my first season - and it gets better!
[Mind you, everything's gone perfectly so far!]
This is the best time to get going.
A whole autumn and winter to read and read and reread what you've just read.
And to get to grips with this Forum, sort out who you trust and what might work for you?
Join a local association.
Get on a course - and, if you can, start getting gear together.
Don't be afraid to ask daft questions here. They've all been asked before!
Dusty.
