Rules of the Bulletin Board
1. What is the Bulletin Board
The purpose of the Bulletin Board is to allow residents of Hankham to post messages to be read by other residents of Hankham.

I wanted to see if anyone in Hankham is interested in forming a book group.
I am trying to get a team together for a pub quiz.
I was planning to go to play / music event / similar. Anyone want to come with me?
I have some objects I no longer have any need for, and looking to give them away. Does anyone want them?
I need to borrow an object. Can anyone help me?
I need a tradesman. Does anyone know of anyone reliable?

I am holding an open garden to raise money for named charity. Please come along.
Anything else within the spirit of the above.
2. What is not acceptable?
The following are not acceptable:-

Anything advertising an event outside of Hankham – but you can see if people want to join you on a social basis to go to a play or music event or similar.
Anything political. Typically this includes issues about the roads, parking, the state of the hedges or planning issues.
