Changes to the Facebook group

Two announcements today. First, Kevin Piggott has kindly agreed to take on looking after the social media content on Facebook and the website. As those who know me know, I am more technical than a creative, so I will continue to handle all the behind the scenes and Kevin will concentrate on keeping the facebook content up to date and informative. So any content queries, please contact Kevin.

The second announcement is that this Facebook page will be going public in a couple of weeks time. The Caravan Club have suggested that if we make this page a public ‘Friends of South Essex’ page we could attract more people to rallying with us. As this is a private group at the moment, I wanted to give people time to find out what we are doing. ALL THE PREVIOUS POSTS will still only be visable to those who were members at the time I switch it over. The person who wrote the post, will have the ability to make it public if they want.

I feel, and have convinced the committee, that this Facebook page is a great way of showing what we do and the fun we have, so please, all those who post now, please continue posting and anyone else please join in.

If this trial period of going public causes too many problems with moderating (i.e. spam posts), I will go to plan B and switch it back to private but allow anyone to become ‘members of the group’. This will allow us to control who can post a lot easier. I hope this all makes sense.
