Cornwell Internet has just sent the following message to subscribers to the proudWORDS mailing list:

This is, I'm sorry to say, the last proudWORDS newsletter.

We've been designing and hosting the proudWORDS website for the past four years. However, we have had no contact with anybody from the organisation since July last year and, as you know, there was no proudWORDS festival in 2007. We have regretfully come to the conclusion that the organisation is no more.

Consequently we will be closing the proudWORDS website on 1 May 2008 when the current contract comes to an end.

Looking back, we were pleased to be associated with the festival over the past few years. Many voluntary organisations seem to have a natural life span, and rather than regret proudWORDS' passing we should perhaps look back and remember its many achievements.

Regards,
Roger Cornwell
