Q1
Who can use holiday Notice Board

Anyone who owns a holiday self-catering vlla, apartment, gite, cottage or other accommodation or offers a holiday related service or is looking for accommodation.  The site is intended to be family friendly and you should not make postings which are unsuitable for children.
You may include information on accomodation, transport, sports, attractions, festivals, outdoor events and other activities.  Links to other web sites are chargeable or against a reciprocal link. No links to estate agency or letting agencies unless agreed in advance

Use the forum section to post enquiries for information about an area you intend to visit eg
passtimes available,  weather to expect at a certain time of year.  Local customs, festivals, public  services, best way to travel to etc. The forum can also be used to keep in touch with holiday friends and general holiday chat. Entries which appear to have been added simply to promote a website will be deleted.

Advertisements for products which are not to do with holidays or are not specific to the area or other off topic notices will not be allowed as a free notice
If someone places an advert for a well known soft drink which is available worldwide this would be chargeable whereas information about a small local brewer who offered guided tours around the brewery would be most likely OK.
In any event our decision is final. 

Q2
How long will a notice remain on Holiday Noticeboard.

Usually about six months but we expect to work on  a maximun of about 100 for each area at any one time.
If there are too many we will delete the oldest.  Boards which become particularly busy may be split into smaller areas.
