- Moving the newsletter to primarily online with pdf file for reporting requirements
- Update of releases
- Updated/monitored site for Candlemas — worked with event steward and class coordinator to ensure information was up-to-date
- Updated the back end of the Bryn Gwlad Awards tables — makes it easier for B&B/Herald to add awards, display is slightly wider. Thanks to Their Excellencies, Sigrun, and Pug for providing feedback on that. Will continue to try to improve the display.
