How many are aware of the local Gransnet

Hope Essex coast is included!

Are you sure the forums are ready, Geraldine ? I can't add anything to the Edinburgh, Chester or Brighton ones. I've not tried all of the sites yet, maybe they are all working except those.

What does oversee involve Geraldine ? To be honest not sure many grans this part world on here!

I'm the editor for both local.gransnet.com/brighton-hove and local.gransnet.com/worthing.

I've also got the Facebook and Twitter sites up and running (will add links on a secondary post because I don't want to lose this with excessive copying and pasting)

Us editors have been beavering away for countless hours getting listings in place and it can be very very time-consuming. Do bear with us, because it will involve an awful lot of work to get the sites looking well-established. Hopefully businesses and organisations will start to add their own listings in time, which will help.
I think the fun will start when the 'local' bit is unleashed as we will be organising meet-ups and such-like, as well as having our local forums to police censor ummm .... (insert appropriate word once experience has delivered it)
Most of all, do support your nearest/local-ish forum so that they really take off

nannaAnna. I think the Brighton and Hove site is brilliant. Congratulations. Well done for all your hard work.

NanaAnna The sites look really good and must have taken a lot of hard work. I think they will be useful, not only for people living in the areas, but for people who want to visit or go on holiday as we will be able to have a look to find out all the best places to go. Brilliant.

Nice to see that our work is already being appreciated

I would love to have an area where you can meet up with other like minded people for a local walk.

They did have a walking forum on Woman & Home, but not much happens in my area - North Suffolk.

Can someone explaint to me how to keep my GN Facebook separate from my 'real' Facebook. Will I need another identity?

Thanks Cari

HAd lovely long walk today with friendship club took Rosie was great about hour and half across farmland to end up on beach followed by tasty lunch ! Are you too far away from Frinton sunflower?

Looks like the local forums are up and running folks.
