Information Pages for Smallholders > > > What's Going on at the Forums?

The Smallholders Forums are very much community-driven - without contibuting members, then the Forums wouldn't be as successful as they are. All new members to the Forums are very much welcome. All contributions to the Smallholders Forums are appreciated and we are always open to suggestions and new ideas on how we can improve the Forums for the benefit of us all. Apart from the 'usual' categories covering livestock, green living, organic gardening, etc, below is a summary of what is also available at the Forums: Business Wise This category is for all your business-related queries. Perhaps you need a letterheading template, or asking for other people's opinions on a particularl broadband service. Maybe you have a specific 'running a smallholding' query. Calendar You have access to the forums calendar where events are listed, eg smallholders shows, etc. If you know of an even, then you are able to add the event yourself as a 'public event'. You can also use the calendar for personal reminders, by selecting 'private'. Private entries will always remain private, only viewable by yourself, not other members of the forums.
