Our new website will provide you with all the information available previously, but now we have moved the whole site onto a system which will help us add new articles, photos and other goodies, and help you find out more about the Chagos islands and the CCT.
The main things to notice about the new site so far are:
-
A new look, and this one is easier for us to improve, so we will be changing things around for a while, until we find a look we all like.
-
Links to articles about the Chagos islands from the major news websites.
-
All the newsletters made available online to CCT members.
-
You can join the CCT online and pay/renew your subscriptions via PayPal.
-
We have a new Photo Gallery, which we hope a number of CCT members will submit photos for.
-
The CCT Shop. You may buy CCT books and other merchandise from the site. We're working on the shop at the moment.
-
You can email us from the website directly.
