<font face="arial"><font color="red"><b>INSTAGRAM</b><br></font><p>Following a recent management committee meeting, we have decided that only allow members aged 13 and above will have access our instagram page. This is because Instagram is rated by Facebook who own it as suitable for 13+ only.  If your son/daughter was younger than this and was following us, they will find they no longer have access to our page. Once they turn 13, upon request we will unblock them to allow them to follow us again.<p>We are working on a NMYP app  to allow all members to access photos etc if they wish and if any parents have experience of app development, James would love to hear from you!
