The Death of the CDCs

Interest in the CDCs has fallen to a point hat we can only rely on one entry per week. As such the CDCs are being retired effective today.

The Facebook page seems to garner more interest, so perhaps they can find a home there.

I gave it my best shot, but the lack of entries is too disheartening for me to continue

Cheers Machiners
