A newsgroup is defined by Google as "collections of related messages (also called articles) on a particular topic that are posted to a news server by users, which then distributes them to other participating servers."
The uk.rec.competitions newsgroup therefore is a source of postal and online competitions and discussion. It isn't a "website" nor is it owned by anyone person. There are rules (netiquette) but in general it was meant to be a friendly place to hang out and interact with other compers.
You may also be able to access the uk.rec.competitions newsgroup via your internet service provider!
If your ISP does not offer you usenet access then you can subscribe for free to a German News Server and access the newsgroup via there. Click here for details.
Sadly, times have changed and uk.rec.competitions is no longer the group it once was. However, we remember the good times affectionately and if wasn't for the original band of compers from urc then Loquax may never have started.
Don't forget you can discuss competitions, share hints and tips and interact with other compers on the Loquax Discussion Boards.
