Welcome to the NTHBA website
The club has migrated the official website from the msn site to this one. We want the website to appeal to all club members and serve as the focal point for discussions, announcements, and information. Comments are welcomed and appreciated. They can be sent to webmaster@nthba.org.

Many thanks to Kason Escobedo for the facelift on the NTHBA logo in the upper right corner of the page.

Credits: Bruce Fabijonas, Steve Jones, James Dorman, and Bill Dubas. Information on these webpages have been taken off of the msn and the hbd sites. Credits belong to the original authors of those two sites as well.

The discussion board is set up so that the entire world can read the contents, but you must login to make a post. To login, you must first register, and then wait until your registration has been approved by the forum administrator. It is set up this way in an effort to keep out spammers.

On the forum page, there is a link to "photos." The forum is set up so that only one album is used and subcategories are not used. The other choice is to allow for subcategories, but then each user is given a category, and there is no way for an arbitrary user to know if new pictures have been posted.
