Rebirth of 4glengate.net

On our way home from UNISON health conference yesterday, we were talking about how we really ought to get our website back online. The previous incarnation of 4glengate.net died just when it could have got interesting - I was really keen to develop a "union rep's blog" where I could document the reality of life as a UNISON activist in an NHS workplace. Sadly, the reality of like as a UNISON activist in an NHS workplace seemed to be that you were far too busy to write blog articles, and the site stagnated and died.

A pity.

Now, Kate has promised to write some material for the site from time to time. And even the kids are talking about adding stuff to it.

So the reborn 4glengate.net promises to be a rather eclectic mix of politics and Dr Who, trade unionism and pop princesses. Whether that's a mix likely to maintain a readership, we will just have to wait and see.

Expect some meaningful posts in the next couple of days, an imminent report of UNISON health conference, and some more site features to be enabled next weekend.

In the meantime, get yourself a user account, and drop us a line.
