I've been putting my efforts in to the Rides List photos and confess I've been neglecting the Facebook Poster's Group. I took a look yesterday and added numerous events from the Facebook group that haven't made it across Initially there were offers of help, but these seem to have dropped off. There is no need to volunteer to do this, but if you do have access to Facebook the group is at https://www.facebook.com/groups/516867281798083/ It takes a few seconds to either create a coming event in the relevant forum here or add the poster to an existing event and helps your like count Any help gratefully received All the best Bill Link to comment

It is too much for one person to do, and as a last ditch effort to save the coming events, we decided to go with a community effort. That is EVERYONE inputs the details of the events they know about. Despite my request at the top of this topic, there is still a backlog of posters on Facebook that haven't been transferred as coming events. I have again done them. It is simple to do - if you are on Facebook - and takes a very short while to create a coming event topic on here. Apologies for being blunt but I'm fed up with nagging about this. If you can't be bothered to help, please don't moan when we have no coming events section on the forum Link to comment

We have events on the Facebook group that aren't being copied over to the forum. I will do what I can when I can, but I cannot say that the Forum Coming Events will have every event listed on Facebook. There has been very little interest in helping, indeed there are forum members sharing details of events on the Facebook group but not here. All I can suggest is that if you are looking for events is that you also check the Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/516867281798083/ If you aren't on Facebook, I apologise, I have no control over where our members choose to share the information Link to comment

Thank you for that. It means that ANY forum member can now copy events from the group to the forum. No excuses now Link to comment
