You don't need money: you don't need IT skills...

...and it's all free, you don't need to buy software or special hardware, your PC and your enthusiasms are enough to qualify you to be a contributor.

So, what is an Interest Group?

The 'Use RbA to the Full' button at the top of the page leads you in easy stages through the process of sending your written material and pictures to RbA

It is an area within Retired but Active dedicated to a specific interest run by and for its own members.

And who can take part?

Any logged in member of Retired but Active. Some groups require that you are cleared by the group leader but that's largely to exclude spammers and the like who would spoil the enjoyment of the genuine members.

Supposing none of the existing groups interest me?

Propose an Interest Group of your own.

Then you can suggest a new Interest group of your own. It has to be approved, but that's largely a formality designed to keep spammers at bay.

Can an Interest group be about anything at all?

The 'See Interest Groups' button near the top of the page will introduce you to our current Interest Groups

It can be about anything - serious or flippant - sacred or profain , provided that it falls within the terms of our Editorial Code

Interest groups allow you to be an active part in the site, to talk to the world and be heard, to listen to your generation speak.
