As I am neither a member of Twitter or Facebook I wonder if I`m missing out here? I`ve made recent postings on here without even getting a single reply and am wondering if all the action is taking place eleswhere. I don`t particularly want to join Twitter but I`m thinking that my hand may be forced if this is going to be the new trend.

At the present time we are experimenting with some of the social media tools that have become available in recent years. There is a very active IPMS (UK) Facebook page apparently (I don't do FB). Twitter offers a chance to explore a different format (I'm learning as I go along). I'm also aiming to playing around with some YouTube clips at some point but maybe not this weekend You're right though, traffic to this forum is relatively light. Depending on how that develops, will determine what format this forum takes in future. Regards, John

Is the IPMS (UK) Facebook page an official outlet? What with Twitter and Tik Tok plus other social media outlets this forum may wither a bit.

There are several 'official' IPMS Facebook pages and many of our Branches and SIGs have their own Facebook groups too. IPMS (UK) Workbench (general chat and discussion on modelling stuff - open to both members and non-members) www.facebook.com/groups/154243277932214IPMS (UK) Society Business (specific to society activities and administration - no modelling discussions - open to IPMS (UK) members only) www.facebook.com/groups/447978405375447IPMS (UK) SMW2020 (as the name suggests this specific to information and discussion about the show) - we'll launch a 2021 group in due course. www.facebook.com/groups/543286466226964IPMS (UK) Trader News (for traders to use to advertise new products etc, rather than for general modelling) www.facebook.com/groups/1521257178103720/All these groups are 'private' - that means you can't see the content or participate unless you join the group and answer a couple of basic questions about why you want to join. We've done that to increase privacy and security. There are also a wide range of excellent independent groups on Facebook (there are some less-than-excellent groups as well - but you could say the same of some of the older-style discussion forums). Almost all the kit manufacturers and many of the aftermarket producers also maintain active Facebook pages and mostly nowadays, that's where you'll see the first news of their new and future releases.
