You might try rummaging around from our homepage for what you're after, or else perhaps try a search. Hope you get lucky :)
The Sheffield City Giants website used to be here, and many people seem to come here trying to find their image gallery.

Just uploaded this first draft of our first proper "flet" template - the first bit of beyond-the-norm design I've done for some months now - and am quietly pleased with myself.
I've used this as an excuse to get my head around web typography at last. I've always liked the beautifully typeset output I get from LaTeX and now understand how to at least echo this in a web page.
I've also re-evaluated perhaps 20 alternative ways of achieving a table-less 3 column layout with CSS and settled on what I think will become my firm favourite. I've not quite finished with the layout yet though, as there are one or two things I've not implemented. I need to get the header area flush with the page, and I'd like the whole lot to be centred in the page with browser windows over 1200px. Heck, I might even give the new Switchy McLayout a go for the small-screen end of the market.

A flet, also called a talan, is a platform in a tree, used by the Galadhrim in Tolkein's Middle Earth stories for shelter, for getting a better view, and for building their dwellings on.

Hallo!
We've sat on this domain name for long enough and done nowt with it, but appear to be moving at last. We, by the way, are Mark and Abi - resident in Sheffield with lives full of chaos and activity that somehow we think may make more sense to us through a website. Whether it makes any sense to you is another matter...
