Comments and suggestions

I owe a big BIG thank you to Nadim al Twal who has designed the new look for "Jordan Jubilee". He is a very successful graphic designer who was kind enough to take the time to do this for us all. If anybody wants to get in touch with him with a new commission I shall be more than happy to pass on your message!

I hope that you will send me an email if you have any comments on this site, and especially if you find any gaps or false information. Any suggestions about anything at all are welcome, although I don't promise to act on them. I should also be interested in any "feedback" - comments (favourable or otherwise) on people or places I have mentioned in these pages. My email address is jordanjubilee@yahoo.com
