Terms of Use

Membership

Stradbroke Village website has a 'forum' which encourages members to join, create their own profiles and share information and content such as ideas, views, photos and videos. We welcome members in three categories:

Personal - any individual with a connection to or interest in Stradbroke. Perhaps you live in the village, work here or your ancestors lived here hundreds of years ago - you're welcome to join!

Business - any local business is welcome to create a profile. By local we mean based in Mid Suffolk or South Norfolk and not just a local branch of a large national chain! Please join with your business name, you can put up information about your business and link to your own website if you have one

Group/Organisation - any local group or organisation is welcome to create a profile. By local we mean based in Stradbroke or adjacent parishes.

You are welcome to have more than one membership if for example you would like a personal page and one for a business or group. You will need a different email address for each membership.
