On the facebook idea - I think this would be a good addition and would engage with more people for example, we might get followers who werent necessarily members but that would show support and would be a way of keeping in touch
Re Save Hertford I'd like to encourage those people to join with us and TH and join the working groups...thats if they agree with the Transition approach...

I spent 90 minutes on their facebook 'site' and worked through every area, it's completely open, nothing of who they are or what they wish to do and what they have done is hidden, that's a good start in my book. However, they're extremely short on ideas, have little knowledge of how to, and like all such enterprises are a roundabout of the same few people postings. They've had two events. in July, a film show (it's a very good film btw :-) 6 people attended. 1st og August, Castle ock event, about 50 people attended (attendance figures are not that easy to figure) If you scroll the membership (apparently some few hundreds) you get a mellee of night time people. That's okay, but they do seem pretty weak on ideas so, maybe a friendly hook up but I wouldn't expect too much and perhaps better by direct contact in hertford rather than via facebook.Maybe Carolyn has a different view? As for Facebook, my response is no - this 'social networking site' is what's known as a 'mine.' and it's got some pretty pertinent security issues which they seem not to be interested in addressing. Personally, I've researched it and from the inside too, other than that there are better and far more productive ways to link with people imo :-) What do others think? On the other hand, this site, as per the link below, might wet your whistles yes?
