At the NCA AGM in July a straw poll was taken from attendees about their use of social media. The only medium with significant usage was shown to be Whatsapp. Arising from this it was agreed that a Whatsapp Group for Notts Chess would help to improve communications and fast dissemination of news and information.
This has now been set up, with two EC members acting as administrators (Nick London, John Swain).
You are now invited to supply your name and mobile phone number to either John or myself, and we will add you to the group.
The intention of the Whatsapp Group is to provide a quick and easy alert method for any important or interesting news item to anyone interested in chess in the County. It is *not* intended to replace the NCA website, which is still the main source of information for our organisation and its activities. Whatsapp may on occasion be used as an alert to a new post on the website.
This new Whatsapp Group can also be a channel of *polite* discussion about chess matters locally or generally which arise from time to time. Suggestions, comments and respectful debate are welcome: any irrelevant, rude or abusive posts will of course be removed by administrators.
Submitting your name and number to me or John in reply to this email is an acceptance of your inclusion in the Whatsapp Group known as “Notts Chess Association”
Best wishes
Nick London
