This is the time to show off your finely honed karaoke skillz in Kings Bar.
Banzai!
And then there was… uhm… dark (again).
The site has been in need of a major overhaul for a while now and here is where it begins. The new secretary (me) is going to change the look and feel and will try to add new functionality whenever I can.
As some of you may have noticed, there are people on the web who are very zealous at telling us what great new stuff they sell. This was the main reason we had comments disabled. I have found a pigeon who will try and sift trough the posts and leave only the useful comments. I have to test it first, so please comment on this post so I can tweak his food if it doesn’t work.
There is also a lot of changes going on under the hood of this beast, so if anything is no longer working as intended, it is not a bug, it is a new feature… 
(No seriously, please let me know via the secretary address in the contact section)
Why Black? When I 1st joined Albion that was the colour our site had, and wanted to show that the site is changing.
P.S. Don’t be afraid to share our stuff and spread the Albion Word!

Try and cook a signature British/American/Australian/Canadian dish and come surprise us with your cooking skills! Ofcourse we will offer great prizes to the winners. Not so sure of your own cooking skills? Come and taste what others have been cooking.
