Charter for unmoderated group uk.local.bedfordshire

Uk.local.bedfordshire is for the discussion of all topics including,
but not limited to, those of a  cultural, historical or social
nature, relevant to the life and lifestyles of the people of
Bedfordshire and those who have an interest in the county.

Bedfordshire should be considered as being defined by the present
County boundaries and the Historic County of Bedfordshire where no
other group exists.

ADVERTISING

Advertising is forbidden, with these exceptions:

Suppliers of goods and services relevant to Bedfordshire may post,
not more than once every 3 months, an invitation of four lines or
fewer, to visit their web site or request details. The subject line
should begin  "ADVERT: ", except for vacancy adverts, where it should
begin "JOB: ".

Messages posted to this newsgroup must not be cross-posted to more
than a TOTAL of four uk.local.* newsgroups; these may be
geographically adjacent or overlapping, or connected by the subject
of the post (e.g. "moving house from Bedford to Cambridge").

Note that the advertising of widely-available goods or services is
*not* relevant in this context, and that most uk.local.* groups have
restrictions on advertising, or prohibit it.  Cross-posted adverts,
where allowed, must meet the requirements of the charters of *all*
groups involved.

FORMATTING

All posts must be in plain text. HTML and other types of
formatted text are not permitted, however short references to
relevant FTP-able material and web URLs are welcome. To see how to
make your newsreader comply with this, please read

BINARIES

The posting of binaries (e.g. pictures, compressed files,
etc.) is strictly forbidden, with the exception of an encrypted
signature file such as those created by PGP or similar software.
