How to post

how to post:


After you log in, click 'New Post' on the top right hand of the page, it brings up a dialogue box. Click on the 'compose' tab to ensure you get all the toolbar.

You can add pictures by: there is a little picture of a picture on the oolbar, click to insert image, which brings up a dialogue box and click to upload and then browse through your pictures file and choose. I found that I could only upload one at a time as if I choose more than one, the newer one seemed to supercede the previous one. (More experienced posters can tell if I'm doing it wrong.)

Forgot to say...

that the feeling of those who met was that we would prefer to save Bosham as a treat for summer and provisionally set the next date for 7th October, venue to be confirmed.
