Some tips …

  • You will need to be a member of Facebook and request to join to see the content in a “Facebook Group” – just click the +Join Group button under the group banner.
  • You can read a “Facebook Page” without being a Facebook member but Facebook will pester you to join. (you can click “not now” under the pester message and then try to ignore the annoying join-up banner underneath)
  • You can read a Twitter feed without being a member of Twitter.
  • Being a member of a social media site and “following” the group/page/feed means you will get notifications of new posts and can usually comment and discuss.
  • If you don’t want to join a social media site like facebook you can subscribe to the oldmeldrum.org website by providing an email address in the “Subscribe by Email” box on the home page and accepting the terms.
