What is the Rose Cottage Community board?

The Community board is a vital part of Rose Cottage communications. It is a place where people can start or join in discussions about various topics relating to the Cottage, and most importantly hear about any news or changes that are happening.

Everyone is welcome to join this board whether you live at the Cottage or only come a few times a month or even if you've never been at all!

This board is a great place to be introduced to other like-minded people and learn more about what we do before you choose to come along.

Below is a set of instructions for joining the board, but if you need any further help please contact our Web manager and he will do his best to get you started.
