Forums

Forums allow members to discuss topics with one another, that are relevant to clubs aims. The results of these discussion can be then be archived for future reference.

Topics, for discussion are posted to a forum. The initial post "kicks off" the discussion to which members can attach their thoughts and comments, to form a threaded discussion, It works a bit like a Question and Answer session. Inevitably any given topic may provoke further questions, and so a forum can be divided into a number of sub topics, which discuss a specific aspect of the main forum.

To contribute, you must be logged in. Only members given permission, may add a new forum topic. This does not prevent an authenticated user suggesting a new topic in a comment. Alternatively or a moderator might decide that a point made in a comment merits further discussion and adds a forum topic, starting a new thread.

We welcome all constructive comments, but as you might expect, comments will go into an approval queue, so will not appear immediately. Please try and keep topics and comments, brief and to the point. The usual netiquette, rules apply, inappropriate material will be edited, or the whole post will simply not be published. persistent breaches of the code of conduct, will likely result in offenders being barred from the site.
