Mike David, Drew Smith and myself Dean McKeown are proud to announce a new site for Laurel and Hardy fans around the world to enjoy.

We are delighted to launch www.nuttynutnewsnetwork.com a site dedicated to promoting communication among those who love Stan and Ollie and to continue the tradition of preserving material related to them.

As many of you know the Nutty Nut News Network was created in the early 1980's by Guido Cipriani of the From Soup to Nuts Tent. Guido's idea was to use audiotapes to keep Tents worldwide in touch with one another by sending messages and greetings. In 2005 The Nutty Nut News Network Show was resurrected when the 1986 Valley Forge Convention audio was remastered by Mike David and posted on the Laurel and Hardy Forum.

Since its emergence on the scene the forum has grown into an untameable but wonderful and indispensable monster that contains masses of information on anything and everything to do with Laurel and Hardy, I was lucky enough to be on the staff team as a Global Moderator and together with the admins and the dedicated members we proudly watched and helped the forum expand beyond all our dreams. Like the admins and other moderators this forum kept me busier than a one legged Riverdancer, in April of 2008 I parted ways with the it and found myself with the time needed to help my fellow Nutters launch a dedicated Nutty Nut News Network website to help give the Networks material the exposure it deserves as it was easily lost amongst the forums ever expanding database.

And so we are proud to launch www.nuttynutnewsnetwork.com. From the past we have rare audio interviews with Laurel and Hardy related celebrities. For the present we have a section for Sons and enthusiasts to post written or audio reports on tent activities, interviews, skits, memorabilia and such. We have an exclusive audio presentation that saw limited release in 1992 and has never been available online until now. L&H author and Grand Sheik Scott MacGillivray conducts an 11 minute indepth interview with Our Gang member Tommy "Butch" Bond. This is an example of just one of the many fascinating items to be found at the NNNN website.

 

You are encouraged to take an active part in contributing material.

Please join us at www.nuttynutnewsnetwork.com.

Bowler Dessert Online is truly excited about this new site. It is a logical development but it took the team of Dean, Drew and Mike to bring it all together. They have put in an enormous amount of work and the job is only just beginning! Let's give them all the support they deserve and send them material regularly.

Thanks, fellows. You ought to be very proud of this new meeting place for Laurel and Hardy folk, which adds mightily to an already rich network!
