Main uses:
1) I set it up for discussion about the development of the Cave Registry, but once it was working I realised it could be used more widely.
2) To communicate with our members. The last Council Meeting agreed that we are failing to communicate effectively with our members particularly on membership and insurance issues. This Forum is another tool in that battle. Members can pose questions that concern them, which we can then answer. The answer is there for all to see, building a kind of FAQ. This is more immediate than the Newsletter where as the author you have to second guess what all the questions are.
3) To discuss Council and Committee business. It is possible it setup private groups. If you want to see click on 'Usergroups' above then 'View Information' then 'Join'. You will need to be a Registered user first - and oh and an Officer or Committee member
Let me know what you think. Is this Forum a good idea?
