Jane Bird The 'Folk Clubs UK' group on Facebook (30) RE: The 'Folk Clubs UK' group on Facebook 07 Jun 10


Facebook lends itself to many things, but it can be surprisingly fiddly to list events as you can't easily select which members of a group you want to send the invitation to. This is particularly important when posting details of an an event to a wider interest group such as Folk Clubs UK.

I use the a similar FB group, E-ceilidh UK*, to list events for Oxfolk Ceilidhs. I now follow the same that Folk Clubs UK request, namely I create an event but I don't send any invitations. By creating the event it's automatically flagged up on group page anyway. (Whereas, of course, when I create an event on the Oxfolk group page, I send it to all members.) This works for me pretty well.

However, "cancelling" someone else's events seems a bit heavy-handed. Is that what she meant to do, I wonder? Wouldn't a brief e-mail to you, Vic, have been more effective?
