A member (convener or group member designated) can submit an article to the web site administrator for publishing in the Noticeboard section.  Some groups may choose to use this for advising members of topics for future meetings if these are decided in advance. (See the film group).  Other groups may use this to record what has taken place for members who can not attend.

Articles can also be submitted by email to the web site administrator.

This article relates to the lowest level of contributor and shows the simplest method of using the web site to submit content.  Any member conversant with web sites, html and image file sizes may be given a higher level of access.
