UPDATE 3.15: TO 7 YEARS OF LMW! 🥂 (Added 01 Dec 2019)

What's up guys, dycaite here with a brief but very special notice board post, the type that only comes around once a year - and no, I'm not a 24 days ahead of everyone, I'm talking about the anniversary of the LMW's creation! That's right, over the weekend the LMW turned 7 years old, which feels crazier and crazier the more I think about it. It hasn't always been smooth sailing, but we've had some great times and made some amazing discoveries, and we wouldn't be where we are today without our fantastic staff and community. I don't think there's much more I can say that I haven't already said on our previous birthdays aside from thank you very much to all who made this possible! :D And a special thanks to Gaucelm (aka Reynard) for the awesome celebratory artwork!

That's all for today, but don't worry, we'll have another proper notice board post coming your way soon (definitely before the big fella arrives) - for now we just wanted to sit back, relax and celebrate this 7 year strong journey; here's to 7 more!
