The Braid Society runs a Yahoo Discussion Group -"braids_and_bands"
This is a members-only group which will allow you to discuss issues concerning narrow ware textile techniques or society activities.
You can also use the group to share information about your narrow ware projects. The aim is to create an active on-line community helping members to share ideas and to support members unable to attend Society meetings.
Using the group can be as simple are sending e-mails to the group and receiving e-mails from other group members.
Alternatively you can log on to the Yahoo discussion group web site, where you can send messages and search the archive of past messages.
There is also the capability to share pictures and other files.
If you are a society member and would like to join the group, then the easiest way is to send an e-mail requesting membership to
info@braidsociety.com and you will be sent a personal invitation.
You then follow the instructions accompanying the invitation.
If you do not already have one, you will be guided through the process of creating a Yahoo account. This account and use of the discussion group are free of charge.
Alternatively, you can visit the Yahoo URL below and apply to join there.
This presentation gives step by step guidance for joining and using the service.
