The Plus Discussion List was
set up in February 1999 by Jarrett Smith. Since then it has grown and grown,
including one ex-Plusser from as far away as Brisbane, Australia.
If vou have access to e-mail then this development is
worth trying out! Read on for more information.
Any topic of debate relevant to Plus is welcome,
including the exchange of information and ideas. Use this forum as a means to
keep in touch with distant Plussers, promote your events to the Discussion List
or just say hello, see you at WASH, or whatever.
Plus is all about friendship, fun and personal
development. It's a voluntary organisation, run by its members. In order to
keep it open and functioning well, we need to keep in touch and be active
within our Plus Groups, Areas and the Federation. The idea behind the
Discussion L list is to encourage and develop this through communication and
healthy debate.
There are a whole host of features available to
subscribers of this Discussion List - from bookmarks through to calendars,
surveys, archives, a shared files zone and a personal message facility.
Access the following:-
Don't miss out on access to valuable information that
could be beneficial to your Plus Group. Play a part in the discussion that's
shaping the new Federation. Be part of the next generation - get on line and
join in the debate.

Points of Etiquette -
Members sending in jokes or non-Plus related e-mail should include
something in brackets in the header, i.e. (humour) or (information required) or
(non Plus). Please note that this list is primarily concerned with development
and a seperate list has been set up for jokes, chat and humour.

STRICT - Members must avoid personal attacks on fellow members of
the National Federation of Plus Groups.
Be constructive in messages and any criticism. Try and be positive
towards your organisation.
Members should encourage the enjoyment of being on the Discussion
List and contributing to the debate.
Avoid CHAT in the form of one or two sentence replies.
Avoid replies containing more of the original message than
necessary.
Humour is an accepted element of this list but should not be at
the expense of serious and constructive contributions. Members should avoid
sending in humorous comments directly after a message asking for serious
input.

helps achieve that in any small way then it's worthwhile. Please help it assist

We can only improve by open minded communication - the
discussion of problems, ideas, solutions and experiences - which is the main
theme of this list. It also provides members with the opportunity to forward

Hi, Now growing every day, Join Fun Plus for jokes, light chat and
humor. Fun Plus, has no guidelines and that's where ALMOST anything can happen,
chat and humor.
The Plus Forum was launched in February 1999 with the aim of
connecting people in 18 Plus across the country, to encourage and improve
communication throughout the National Federation of Plus Groups. It provides a
convenient means for members to keep in-touch, promote events, share
information and debate new ways of improving their organisation.
The driving influence behind it was the desire to see Plus develop
throughout the UK and improve communications between Members, Groups, Areas and
National tiers. Above all there is a need for change within 18 Plus and there
seemed to be many members who had good ideas and useful experience who were
being ignored or simply left undiscovered.
The Plus Forum Web
Site is set up to augment the main 18 Plus Forum and serve as a central point
of reference for all those subscribed. It also serves to promote other Plus
on-line Forums.
The 18 Plus E-mail Discussion List has grown constantly since its
formation and represents one of our organisations biggest success stories.
