The website now runs on PostreSQL!
After a fairly painful few hours migrating everything, elsr.co.uk no longer uses SQLite and now runs on PostgreSQL.
The db is also now seperated from the main Python code and runs in its own Docker container (with persistent volume).

A nice and relaxed ELSR Xmas Dinner at Zizzi's in Cambridge. A good turn out given how close to Christmas it was and prior commitments, last minute positive Covid tests etc. We even managed to stay right till they kicked us out as they were closing up for the night! There were some very drunk people staggering around Cambridge afterwards....
Quite a few ELSR members went to see Chris Boardman speak at Jesus College yesterday on cycling and it's role in the future of Active Transport in the UK. The first question was from our very own Adrian!
You can catch the talk on the college website: Chris Boardman Talk
