NARPO WEBSITE

Dear Member

Most of you will be aware that for a number of months now no postings have been put on this website.

We had hoped to piggy back onto the National Site but after exhausting trials neither Bob Thompson or my self were able to get the site to operate satisfactory and and there was no facility for members to leave comments on notification of the death of a member or their spouse.

We have cleaned this site up, secured it and will resume using this site to send out messages, it will not affect the Death Message that Bob Thompson puts out through NARPO.
