Hi John, How about eventbrite, ( https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/ ) the nice thing about that is a) free b) you can set up free tickets or at cost tickets c) you can reserve tickets You don't need facebook / twitter to get tickets, may be good if you want to reach out to all age groups, and members of the lug who don't want to use facebook, you can put links to the eventbrite page on facebook as well as twitter but see below. As you're part of the lug we can set up a page on the lug site to host information, and adjust what is on the site to suit. The lug blog auto posts to twitter, g+ , facebook and linkedIn, I am sure Grant will be happy to include the events on the lug calender, too. The Torbay Pi jam was booked in advance for the whole of 2014. we had quiet times and like Saturday this month, busy, so if you are doing this then maybe it is worth booking in advance, so people know that it is a regular event, plan ahead and can put dates in their organiser well ahead. Not sure if we should have the dcglug as a sort of central hub for all things like this, as there is lots of useful info on the pages and Tom Brough has done an excellent job writing articles on different types of sort methods We are then using what is already established and make it better, rather than having several websites, social media accounts all doing the same thing, Hope this helps Paul > > I was not aware of anything that had gone on previously in > Penzance.
