Introduce yourselves (New member thread)

[sundancer 42932xp 13]

Hi there.

As it’s good netiquette and good manners one introduces when joining a club/group/forum. This is a thread for new members but I encourage old/senior/veteran members to join in.

Please feel free to share as much or as little information about yourself as you like.

To break the ice I will start. (I’m keeping it efficient, you might want to do it in any other way, feel free to do so)
