The London Branch recently redid their web site and it may well be that all our links to the archive of The Reel are broken now. They still have an archive of The Reel but presumably in a different place on the site, or with a URL structure that has otherwise been changed.

It might be worth looking into how many of these links we actually have, and whether there is a way to fix them systematically. I’ll take care of this.

Thanks for reporting this. RSCDS London branch has a new website and all links have changed. It looks as though some may have been updated already (at least some do still work) whereas masses of others are broken. I have emailed the person responsible for creating the new site.

Anselm, in last nights daily dump there are about 100 links which look like they are old style. But links to SDA dances appear to work. Im sure the links changed so I assumed you had been asked to this already.

Joanne Lawrence graciously sent me a very well-prepared list of old and new URLs for the dances in the Donald and MacNab archives, so these have been updated. As far as the archive of The Reel is concerned, that may not have been on their radar. I’ll look into this some more but not tonight ;^)
