Members Area
We originally created a members area for messages to be exchanged between members (private messages) and for events to be listed. After two years we had only six private messages so we discontinued that service.
The total number of events posted after four years is less than 100. That clearly doesn't reflect the real position. While existing members can still log on and add their events, new members won't be provided with a password immediately as we are developing a new approach.
If there is an event you really want featured then please send a small image 200 pixels wide and maximum 50 words to Kayte and we'll try and find space for it.
