How many are aware of the local Gransnet

I think you can have a different user name if you want to, or use the same one. You need a user name to add a listing or take out an advertisement.

It seems to me that GNHQ were expecting a mad rush to man the local sites, so planned to cover the country with them. They are now starting with just a few complete ones, with the others in place but unmanned until they appoint editors for them.

People can still add listings and ads, and presumably post to the forums, but the unmanned local sites will be monitored by GNHW in the moments they can spare from their other work, and will not have anyone sending out newsletters and arranging regular meetings, as the local editors are to do.

That is my understanding, anyway. I assume all will gradually be revealed.

Most of them seem to be empty. I'm not really sure what's going on - does every area need a local organiser or what? And it seems as though you have to have a different user name to post on the local sites...

Yes it does. I did not see the picture.

I don't think they have added forums everywhere. Edinburgh does not have one.

Mine is empty!!

Yes, you can start a discussion like on here. Don't know if anyone will see it

Does yours have a forum? We wuzz promised a local forum!

Just been for a look round a couple of local ones and posted details of our local meet-up in Manchester this week. Some seem to be more developed than others.

Found ours but there is nothing in it yet.

Gosh, I did not know there was a list on the forums main page.

Just remembered that Worthing has a resident minder too.

You look here.

There are only 8 or so local sites with their own editors at the moment. Off the top of my head they are Brighton, Worthing, Kingston upon Thames, Chester, Blackpool, Hexham, Edinburgh, ....ummmm.... Royston? Where is that?

GNHQ keep an eye on the other ones.

The big launch is said to be soon #notholdingbreath

Are you looking on the Gransnet Local list in the Forums section? It doesn't help me as I'm mostly in Portugal!

How do we find out about them?

Don't think Essex covered! Not heard any grans near me.

No, where should I look?

I know of the Brighton and Hove and Kingston upon Thames ones and follow them on Facebook.
