New Members Information

Hi, Welcome to Qld Beaders! We are a friendly group of beaders who meet regularly at various locations around Brisbane. We also have some friends who are out of town that have been personally invited by our members.

As we are all friends and meet regularly we have formed this forum as an area for us to freely discuss anything without moderation. The forum is private, and can only be read by members and any discussions that take place here are for us only. We will chat freely as we do at our meets. There will be a lot of discussions about our local meets, we may also discuss our experiences with purchasing beads either good or bad, and also any other general discussions.

It would be nice if new members can post a simple introduction so all members can get to know you. The following is a guideline, you only need post the information you feel comfortable sharing:

Username
First(real) name
Location
Will you be able to attend meets?
Member who introduced you
Interests (other than beading)
What else you do (eg if working)
Anything else interesting about yourself

If you find this forum is not for you please let us know and we will remove you.
Any member not posting for approximately three months will be considered inactive and be deleted (unless we know why ie you may be away or busy for a period of time - if we know we will leave your account active).
Don't worry if this happens, if you decide to come back you can re-register (although your original posts will no longer be against your login name).
This is mainly because we are an active group of people who meet regularly and know each other, so we encourage everyone to be active and involved within the forum.

Once we have seen an introduction in this thread we will know who you are and approve you.
Once you are a member we will remove this information and you can then participate in all our threads.
