Some of us view social media as a spawn of the devil and also, possibly, a marketing trap aimed at parting me, personally, from my money, data, and self respect. We might still be interested in tunes. |

(BITS) From: Les in Chorlton Ok Folks our facebook is gathering people and sessions: https://www.facebook.com/groups/502906953217878/ The page has no internal organisation yet - I think that is one of the problems with facebook. |

18 Sep 15 - 05:55 AM (#3738131) Subject: RE: Tech: Beginners & Improvers Tunes Ses. (BITS) From: Noreen What sort of organising do you mean, Les? You can organise and publicise events on facebook, for example. |

18 Sep 15 - 02:00 PM (#3738219) Subject: RE: Tech: Beginners & Improvers Tunes Ses. (BITS) From: Les in Chorlton Peter is quite correct websites are much better for presenting and organising information. By which I mean putting contact details, venues and times and events into some geographical format so that people seeking BITS can find them easily. Here is a rather excellent one: In Greater Manchester etc. facebook is good for sharing quick bits (!) of information but not so good for more permanent stuff V Cheers |

20 Sep 15 - 10:31 AM (#3738499) Subject: RE: Tech: Beginners & Improvers Tunes Ses. (BITS) From: Mo the caller One possible way (maybe) of organising. Encourage all the BITS to have their own FB page - I see Chester has already. Then list them as a File, or list links to websites. I don't know if a group can have a list of 'friends' or 'like' another group. More work for you I suppose, but if you updated contact details in the File when it was mentioned on your page it would save people scrolling down through years of posts. |

20 Sep 15 - 11:35 AM (#3738507) Subject: RE: Tech: Beginners & Improvers Tunes Ses. (BITS) From: Les in Chorlton Thanks Mo, I will explore the file idea - that's probably the best bet unless someone wants to set up a website |

Quite a few around the UK: BITS in the UK This Group has been set up so that people can find Beginners & Improvers Tunes Sessions (BITS) across the UK. It could also be a forum for sharing good practice. Our Session in Manchester: Songs & Tunes with The Beech Band |
