Personal Membership
The Personal Membership is right for you if you want to publish as an individual. You can publish anything as long as it is not against our editorial guidelines as described in our Terms and Conditions. You can publish articles, news stories, events and create blogs.
The only limitation is that you mustn't advertise a business.
The Personal Membership is a free membership for local residents.
Non-Profit Group Membership
The Non-Profit Group Membership is right for you if you publish for a club, a charity, a school, a church or the local council, etc. Basically anything that is not for a comercial activity.

The Non-Profit Group Membership is a free membership too.

The Business Membership is meant for businesses to publish their company details, a display ad, press releases and more. As a business member you pay a yearly membership fee. Any acitivity which is not non-profit belongs in the business membership category.
