	Gunfleet sc, set up a facebook page to keep in touch with the younger members. The youth members including myself monitor the page and keep others informed about upcoming events.

	I created "London Corinthian Sailing Club" a very long time ago. It is completely open. Several editors. we are also starting a "page" which will be more controlled. We also have Twitter, blog, email discussion group and of course www.lcsc.org.uk. the website, followed by the discussion group are the most important things. I thnk in many ways there are too many forms of communication, but you can't really afford to miss out either. The facebook group is good as it is a completely free place to interact - a bit like a remote club bar.

	I created our club Facebook group in the time before you could create pages you could "like". I am admin on the group and it's open to everyone who wants to join. Most of the time, it's used to advertise latest news items and events coming to the club. Last month, I helped organising our annual Dinner Dance and over a third of all takers had confirmed on Facebook. I see it as another way to keep the membership informed. There's a link the the FB group on our SC website news page and the news items are also advertised, about once a month, by email to all members.

	Liverpool SC use one. Its ok, low overhead really, very low interest. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=111315552214005 Main advantage is that it appeals to a younger generation (I.e. pre retirement) so it worth doing I think. Its an area that hard to recruit in. It does events well and good way to show the club is active, never had a problem with abuse etc. Kev

	We have a closed group (old style) and a newer "like" group. Unsure on uptake though
