The Federation has removed the Forum from the SWFed site.
To be brutally honest, it just did not catch on.
We had a few people who wanted to use it, but it never gained enough momentum to be able to actually take off and become a natural and useful mode of communication.
Each county group already uses a mailing list for inter-museum communication at a county level and this obviously provides enough interaction for most museums in the region.
If anyone would like to re-install the Forum, it wouldn't be hard, so please get in touch and we can discuss how a Forum could help you.
