HOW DO WE COMMUNICATE WITH OUR FOLLOWERS AND OUR FANS?
THE GENERAL PUBLIC & THE MAILING LIST 1. FARCYCLES MAILING LIST - We use Mailchimp to manage this. Signing up to receive emails is through the Contact Us page. All emails go out with an UNsubscribe button. This list is governed strictly by GDPR & our privacy policy. 2. FACEBOOK PUBLIC GROUP - DISCUSSION - ANYONE can post here - but you can’t be sure that others are going to read your post - because not everyone uses FB! (If you want to send a message to fellow farcyclists then it’s better to use the Full Members Google Group - see below) . 3. TWITTER, BLOG, CALENDAR ..... are all accessible to everyone |
The links ABOVE are for EVERYONE. The links BELOW are for those Farcyclists who also want to take a more active role in Farcycles; sending messages to others; Volunteering to be ride LEADERS - and so on .... 4. GOOGLE GROUP OF THE FULL MEMBERS - (Note: this group allows you to EMAIL the FULL members. There's approx 30 farcyclists on this list: those who have opted in to be a FULL member.... This compares with the 170+ people who opt in to receive the weekly email through Mailchimp ) . You probably have multiple Google identities - so make sure you’re logged in to the right one. ... This is the Group for FULL MEMBERS . You can RECEIVE/VIEW and also POST on this group - IF you are a member of the Group. Membership is by invitation only. If you’re not already a member and you want to be - go to the page - click on the link in the left-hand column to send an email to the Administrator to be considered for Membership. All Farcyclists are encouraged to become FULL MEMBERS. Go on - you know you want to! 5. WHATSAPP - (if you want to TEXT other members) We use WhatsApp as our primary GROUP INSTANT MESSAGING TOOL - mostly for emergencies. If you want to be added to the FARCYCLES WhatsApp group - please email cycle@farcycles.org.uk with your mobile number so that you can then be invited to join the group (it's very easy to also leave the group by the way). 6.
