I’m on a few what’s app groups and find then easy to use.
Happy to go with the flow :-)

I’m fine with any of it, probably prefer WhatsApp because I’m guilty of not always checking my emails ie have 934 unread ones at the moment😳😂!

Would you add me? I haven't made it to any of the meetups but I hope to in the future. I am in a couple of WhatsApp groups and like them but will go with the flow.

Oh, you will be very welcome to join us.

I’m happy to be on an email or phone list but I don’t do Facebook and find WhatsApp groups a bit of a pain when conversations are going on between individual group members that have no relevance for me. Sorry to sound a bit grouchy! I do love to hear news of the Glesca/Scottish grans and hope to make it to the next meet-up 🥰

I would happily be added hopefully will manage to get along to something, work gets in the way more times than not😖

Just seen this - yes OK by me. Apologies for the delay.

I was beginning to think I had been sent to Coventry! 🤣

Grammaretto Mon 29-Jul-24 06:22:16

I find WhatsApp easiest. Keep thinking Marydoll 🤔 🤣

It's fine by me too. I don't know why I didn't see this post earlier either

Grannmarie Mon 29-Jul-24 00:26:40

Fine by me, Mary.

Thanks Pitt.
I do know some phone numbers and email addresses, but I suspect that some people may be wary of sharing personal details. It is completely understandable.

Colchester has an email group too for those who aren't on Facebook. We also have a phone group for those who prefer to be called.

Marydoll Sun 28-Jul-24 15:23:27

We may be group of two!
I hope all is well with you. X

weenanni59 Sun 28-Jul-24 14:39:54

I’m up for that Mary . :-)

Good morning, Glesca Grannies, I have been thinking (a dangerous business.)

The Colchester grans have a FB page I believe and wondered what we could do to improve communication for our group.
I don't like Facebook, but wondered if a mailing list would be appropriate. That way, everyone would be in the loop.
Of course, we would still advertise on GN, so that no-one is excluded.

I understand grans may understandibly not wish to divulge their email address, but I would only send blind copies, so no-one would be aware of anyone else's email address. Apart from me, that is.
I do this for the various groups in my church and it works well.

What do you think?
