this is how it works

 

You can either start a discussion (referred to as a thread) or add a comment to a discussion (referred to as a reply).  It’s that simple! A list of suggested threads and can be found opposite.  Once the views start coming in, you will be able to click on the thread title to view the responses.  If you wish to start a thread then send in suggested title and opening comment.

 

the rules

 

There aren’t very many!  You have to be a Narpo member or a serving officer. You will email your thread or your reply to the Website Manager and, provided the content is ‘suitable’, it will be published.

 

Only your name and Narpo no. (or current or ex-warrant no.) will be shown with the thread or reply; contributor email addresses will not be included.

 

The Website Manager retains the right to edit content and to decide when a thread and replies have run their course.  He will apply a common sense definition to ‘suitable’ and will only consult the Branch Committee where he considers it necessary to do so.

 

 

 

 

Lets get started!
