Your committee has decided to continue with WhatsApp as a means for club members to communicate and coordinate their flying because we think it is a useful option. At the moment a WhatsApp Namadgisfc community has been created which contains 2 groups a “Committee” group and a “Whose Flying When” group.
The idea behind the “Whose Flying When” group is pretty simple, it is to allow members to contact each other in an easy manner to find out who and when there is going to be flying at Tharwa. It is open to all club members to join this group. Gary is the Admin for the group so if you want to be included then email or message Gary with your preferred contact mobile phone number.
If you want a more specific focused group with more limited broadcast then you have a couple of options:
- contact Gary with the name of the group you want created and a list of its members. Gary will set the group up and make you and the members you have nominated Admins so you can manage the group yourself. In this case the group will be created as part of the Namadgisfc community.
- alternatively just create your own WhatsApp group and invite whomever you wish to join. This is simpler and more informal and you can manage it yourself without needing to involve Gary or the club.
Let your committee know how you go and if you are finding WhatsApp a useful option. Equally let us know if you think it is too cumbersome, too formal or too much trouble.
