DJ is unable to get online as much as he used to and has asked me to complete the "British Successes" threads for 2008 (N.B. this note is repeated on the other successes threads, so if you've read a note that starts like this on one of the other threads, so can safely ignore this one!) so I have now done that.

I've also done what I promised DJ months ago, i.e. created a proper 'roll of honour' page on the site for each of these threads - you can find links to them in the "BRITISH SUCCESSES" section of the revamped stats page at http://www.britishtennis.net/stats.html - do feel free, as ever, to point out any errors or make suggestions. Btw some errors on the original lists (e.g. the Skupster's singles title was recorded as a doubles title) have already been corrected on the webpage version but not in this thread.

Putting these lists onto web pages ensures consistent formatting (virtually impossible on Activeboard unless you know exactly how the original poster has done the formatting) and that tables for prior years will be easier to find than prior years' threads will be once they are un-stickied.

Now that the pages have been set up for 2008, it should be easy enough to do the same for 2009, as long as the section specialists don't mind helping out by pointing out the things I don't automatically pick up while doing the GB top 25 tables, e.g. tournament wins for doubles and juniors and new career highs for doubles and for singles outside the top 1000.

So, once 2009 starts, I intend to de-sticky the 2008 successes threads, and start a new 2009 one in each section with just a link to the stats pages in the top post, with people posting updates in the rest of the thread that I'll then transfer to the web pages every week or two. Or I can send a copy of the spreadsheet that creates the web pages to a specialist if they'd prefer to update it themselves.
