High Cross Quarter - What's newWhat's new on this websiteBookmark this page to check back often and see how the high cross quarter website here is progressing. 19th June 2008 - Updated Solstice and equinox datesHave updated the Updated Solstice and equinox dates and times of some of the graphics in this site and improved the precise time for the summer and winter solstice. 8th October 2007 - Event Listings UpdatedAdded some new events to the events page. 11th October 2007 - Slide show images re-orderedChanged the order of the slide show sabbat images after 3 people emailed us to explain we had the yule slide showing after the Imbolc slide. To those eagle eyed people we say thanks. If anyone else spots any errors of faults please let us know and we will be happy to change them ourselves or ask our web designers to make corrections. 8th October 2007 - Updated Navigation System.Some corrections and improvements were made the the navigation system 7th October 2007 - Highcross Leicester seizes our highcrossquarter.co.uk domain name.Unfortunately we have been unable to stand against the highcross leicester corporate steamroller in defending our fair and square ownership of the highcrossquarter.co.uk domain name as we did with the highcrossquarter.com one. The decision we have been informed was based on slightly different rules which allows the judge to decide the case on the "balance of probability" whereas the UN decision on the case we won on the higher level .com domain name is based purely upon the facts of the case. We have some time to decide if we can appeal the nominet decision but as we are pensioners the £3000 + cost of doing this is far out of our means and we will just have to accept that sometimes as much as there is plenty of fight in us over this matter on sheer principle, we can't stand up against the Highcross Leicester, Hammerson plc, Hermes and Nabarro their brigade of barristers. We are simply a group of wiccan pensioners on very limited means who wanted our own website. Apparently it is not enough that we got to the names first fair and square. The .co.uk whilst a lower level domain name than the all important and over-arching .com would still have been nice for us to use. However our guess is that Highcross Leicester will never publicise it and use it openly so it really amounts to no more than a consolation prize for them. Again we would like to thank Mel Gordon of Webwordwizards.com for all he has done and all the hard work far in developing this website and representing us at UN WIPO and NOMINET. It is our intention to say more about this at a later date. Aeshia Wisecraft 22nd September 2007 - Slide show Speed alteredSome people have requested and suggested an adjustment in the speed that is default for the Main Highcross quarter and cross quarter sabbat slide show. This alteration has now been made. Enjoy. 12th September 2007 - Updates to ImagesA number of images across the site have been replaced or removed. 6th September 2007 - Highcross Leicester claim on our domain name denied by UN WIPOGreat news. Our IT Consultants and Web designers Webwordwizards.com have today received news from Geneva, Switzerland, on our fight to prevent Leicester's Highcross Leicester seizing the domain name highcrossquarter.com to the effect that the case brought by Hammerson Plc developers and part owners of Leicester's Highcross Leicester (as Leicester's Highcross Quarter is now known) has been totally rejected by the United Nations World Intellectual Property Organisation. As pensioners we found this whole episode very daunting indeed and would never have got through it without the support of Mel Gordon of Webwordwizards.com who has extended to us every service far and beyond whatever we are able to remunerate them for. We remind you all that our battle is not entirely over yet as we are still awaiting a decision on the highcrossquarter.co.uk case being heard by Nominet here in the UK. Whilst this domain name is not as important as the higher level .com domain name we successfully defended it would still be nice for us to be able to keep it as people will type the .co.uk address in when looking for us and we would like you all to find us on both .com and .co.uk. We would like to thank you all, especially the people of leicestershire and the East Midlands who have emailed us with your support. Please understand that it will never be possible for us to reply to you all individually. Aeshia Wisecraft 27th - 28th August - Events Section UpdatesNew events now listed in the our events section.
