Time to update your group's programme

Note to group leaders...

It's the time of year to review your group's programme of meetings/events on the HIU3A web site.

It's important to maintain the programme in the web site so:

  • Members can refer to it if they are unsure of meeting dates
  • We automatically populate members' electronic diaries with the right information (see here for more details)
  • Group leaders looking for gaps in the monthly schedule to set up their meetings are aware of your group and can avoid unnecessary clashes
  • Prospective new members get a good idea of the range of our activities
  • People looking to join activities on particular days of the week, get to know about your group

I presented the new event update service at the last group meeting, and I'm pleased that some of you have already used it to update your programme for the new year. Thank you.

As promised here is a summary of how to use the new service. The following notes apply to the large majority of groups that use a single recurring event to list all their events. I describe the procedure for one group, the process is the same for each group you lead. I address some exceptions afterwards.
