When you request to join you will need to answer a couple of quick questions, including letting the administrators know your actual name, as per our member system, if it is different to the name you use on Facebook.
We understand that for privacy reasons people use aliases on social media, however we do need to reconcile our member database with our Facebook group members in order to keep all our members as safe as possible online.
Our Members Facebook group is different to our Public Facebook page, which can be found here!
The use of our Members Facebook group is governed by our Terms and Conditions of membership which are shown below.and is monitored by our Social media Admin Team.
