New Parents Website Forum Launched Archived

10th Oct 2007
Forum board

After a slightly longer than expected wait we are glad to announce the launch of the parents' forum online discussion boards.

The boards are provided to encourage parents to talk to each other wherever they live in the city bringing down the barriers of time and travel. You can post topics when YOU want to about things that matter to YOU!

Please feel free to browse the boards but to post you just need to follow a simple log-in.

We are hoping parents will feel free to discuss issues, give advice and ask questions on areas specific to them and the city we live in.

Please don't forget to tell your friends and family about the discussion boards, we need the families of Brighton & Hove to bring them alive and keep them fresh.

If need any help please feel free to contact Tasha on 01273 294391 or email tasha@brightonandhoveparentsforum.com, or even better come along to the Funplex on Sunday 14th October between 2-6pm where you will be able to see the forum live and add posts!

Just click on the 'Your Views Online' to go to the forum boards!
