Local Forums

I can't see how to get into the Cheshire one but Anno and Wheni'm can. Its not fair.

I like the picture of Astbury Church and daffodils but they are not quite out yet this year though!

Thanks annodomini, whenim64 and Sook for your support for Chester. I've been working hard on listings for the website, keeping the Facebook page and Twitter feeds going, and even doing some local radio interviews for the national launch day. Big steps outside my comfort zone, but I'm glad I did it. Then I realised I hadn't checked the local forums for a day or so and have just been on there. One of the other local editors said its a bit like the old stage act where you try to keep all the plates spinning by jumping around from one to the other. The minute you stop working on one, something else needs attention.

Where have you looked for it gillybob ? On the map or in the searchbox?

I'm on the Good Morning topic anno posted yesterday. glamma has also posted.

No Glass I haven't seen *GillieB" around for quite a while either.

Can't understand why our local forum is Hexham. Surely it should be Newcastle or am I missing something?

BRISTOL CALLING
Anybody living in or near Bristol, log into your local net. We're trying to organise a meet. At the moment there are four of us and I'm sure there are more!
Don't be shy!

I've popped into Chester and had a look around and left a hello post all seems good with some interesting information,not able to get profile pic's up on there though,does anyone know do I have to do it myself or will it show at a later date ?? GNHQ any idea's.

@Lilygran thankyou I like yours too. Well I don't understand why there is no local site in our area. I am a new entrant to gransnet and think perhaps, we could find a way of spreading the news about it. I only came across it myself by accident, so obviously. it is not getting enough publicity. will poke around and let you know what I come up with,

Nothing here in Ealing either I've just posted see if there is any response, fingers crossed.

imbroglio I really like your GN name! What had you in mind?

Lilygran hello I am in Sheffield. Perhaps we could start something!

Morning Geraldine...re.`local posts` is there one up and running yet for South Staffordshire specifically Cannock,Lichfield,Tamworth area yet? what does being an editor require?Information required please.

I've added posts in a couple of places anno, as well as the Manchester one. We could put our next N-West meet-up on there.

Let's think of something, Sook. We Cestrians should be able to fill a local forum.

If your local forum looks a bit bare, the solution is to post something - anything - to start the ball rolling. People are scared of an blank page but once it gets going they respond. It is the first impetus that takes a bit of effort. (not that the Edinburgh site has an awful lot of posts yet)

Chester seems to be up and running but not many topics or posters yet.

Like the look of it so far.

South Yorkshire Local doesn't seem to have any entries or posts and I looked at a couple of others to find the same. Are we waiting for advertisers or members to post information?

The Newcastle site is the same a couple of posts on the Forum, GillieB has posted( not seen her for ages, have you?) but all the sub sections seem empty.

Good morning gilly the Northumberland is the same, the Northallerton site has a good bit on.

Yes I had a peep yesterday Glass and there doesn't appear to be anything there other than the headings.

Hi moonraker.
The Hexham site is very quiet, still asleep I think.

I saw this on the BBC i for Oxford last night it stated about gransnet being a over 50`s website etc.
I have posted on both Northants and Oxon local without respeonse.
