WRR Facebook Guide

1) Introduction

Our Facebook site will allow members to communicate with each other and hold online discussions.

By making the group closed, the posts will be private to the group and visible only to group members. Example posts include;

• Any news you think members may want to hear,
• Letting other members know you are running a race and/or arranging lifts,
• Arranging weekend runs,
• Giving words of encouragement to fellow running prior to a big race,
• Asking and to replying questions about races, kit, training, injurys etc.

2) How do I register to become a member of the Group?

Membership is only open to current members of Warrington Road Runners. Users must register with Facebook first before using the site. Go to the http://en-gb.facebook.com/ page and sign up (anyone can do this). Upon registration, you will have the opportunity to supply information about yourself.

You can supply as much or as little as you want. So if you want to stay anonymous then do not supply too much information. You do not have to fill in all the fields, only a user name is required as a minimum.

You can elect to have the messages sent to your email address; this is useful rather than logging into the site to check activity.
