    Totally

    Considerations:

    FB Page = RTOC
    http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/RTOC/230200617060130

    FB Groups = Renault 5 GT Owners
    http://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/r5gttoc/

    and RTOC
    http://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/rtoclub/

    And Renault 5 GT Turbo - Has been migrated (don't know where or what to?)
    http://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/137899785377/

    Andy (Blunty) is doing a superb job with the R5 GT Owners group ...

    Re: facebook

    good thing is we can link our pages/groups to each others which will again hopefully help branch things out.

    Re: facebook

    Nice one chaps

    In an ideal world, and no reason why this can't happen, Romil, Blunty, and the Committee should all work together on their respected FB pages/rtoc.org, so that we're all one big happy family; eg, even if they're not an rtoc member, they should be made to feel welcome at our ND, and likewise, there shouldn't be any ill-feelings if rtoc'ers turn up to a Facebook arranged event.

    Re: facebook

    nail on the head mart i have never understood why anyone would not want to use fb as a way to help cast the net much further out. And with regards to attending events we should all be able go as one big group would be daft to do otherwise.

    fb is the way forward - soooo much easier to share stuff and arrange events, but lacks the structure that we have here.

    There must be a way

    Re: facebook

    Only other problem I can see is people will end up thinking why pay to be a member when I can get it all for free? Not being a pessimist btw, just an observation.

    Re: facebook

    You guys are all right... Let's provide some solutions rather than problems (stupid work chat but it works)?

    • I have posted the ND event on FB, RTOC member get a discount on the event,if non-RTOC members buy tickets, the club makes money
    • On the same hand, I have posted the Sangliers event too but we wont profit from this. Other than publicity and when non-RTOCers see what a lovely bunch of people we are (except Car.Crash), they will hand over their £25... Oops sorry, £15 to join up.
    Its a hastle to have to check in 2 places! Which has the latest post/update? Some people can access FB at work, other can't! Same with www.rtoc.org. FB is better suited to smart phones.

    RTOC is the club and FB is a social networking site. (Not everyone on RTOC is social - JOKE before anyone starts )

    P.S. I have pasted links from the RTOC events calendar, I was guessing you can only see the event if your a member? and would encourage people to join (clever I know

    As Facebook Guru now Romil, if you want to bin one of the groups off and concentrate/build on one then that's fine by me. It was Millie who suggested we grab the RTOC pages whilst they were still avaliable? Not being a FB guy myself, i've never got to grips what the difference between the two are?!

    Make sure you don't end up making it difficult for us non-Facebookers to stay abreast of what's happening!

    Twitter is a good idea. That can reach a lot of people and potentially get folk who used to own Renaults back in touch.

    the main idea was to spread to word and let as many people know what is happening were and when. all the main information discounts and tecky stuff will stay with rtoc.org and it's members, rtoc will remain the main hub and the place to be.

    the old way was to hand out flyers. now we have facebook and twitter to do the same job but on a much cheaper and bigger scale.
