Content of our group site

People,

I don't know how you feel about it but recently I have been rather disturbed by the apparent trend of our group site postings. It appears to have taken a rather too political slant with way too much axe grinding for past wrongs, real or imagined. So instead of having a forum which keeps us abreast of events or issues which should have the social interaction uppermost we are seeing this depressing stuff about things the politicians should be worrying about. Enough already!

Please, let's keep this site friendly and informative for things that will brighten up our interaction. We won't be able to use this forum to force anyone to do anything in the political arena so let those who want to get involved with what we used to (in the politically active student days) call agitprop (From agitation and propaganda) please go to those sites that cater
to that sort of content and let us get busy organising a clan meeting to discuss the community center or similar.

Elias
