There have now been 999 posts to this web site's Forums section, which was launched in March this year.

The Forums section contains numerous headings, including a thriving news section, different towns and villages, affordable homes, green issues, sport and the arts, plus an open forum where visitors can post their own topics or have their say about issues interesting other people. Some of the topics are very serious - others are more light-hearted.

It is all completely free - you can either view the forums as a visitor or register, a simple process which means you can add your own topics or comment on existing topics.

To find out more details, click on Forums on the left hand side of this web site's home page or type http://forum.thewestmorlandgazette.co.uk/ in the search bar on your internet search engine.

Will you be the person to make the 1,000th post?
