We maintain that the UK, having left the EU, will have its best
interests served by retaining a close as possible relationship with
the EU, its peoples and its cultures. This site will serve as a
bulletin board, a village pump, and information and interest
exchange. The aim of this site it to keep alive our already close
ties with the countries of Europe which, we maintain, were more
easily facilitated when the UK was a member of the EU. We will also
share any difficulties that arise from terminating membership and
solutions to problems where they exist. Also, we will share
advantages of leaving the union should they arise...

hold them in our repositories.
