Ya I agree - that's why I thought the idea of a sticky would be an idea. I'd have no problem with a few other stickies as well - Scotland, Wales, England - whatever makes sense.
Facebook to me is a very poor substitute for a forum. Items drop off the main page so quickly and the whole thing is unorganised compared to the brilliant resource which is TMA.
I completely agree about facebook...once it's no longer a recent post it's gone. There's no database but since everyone is on facebook and there are plenty of Irish groups over there I can't see how to get the Irish section on here moving. The holy wells group on facebook has over 600 members alone with many many regular posters. It seems that unless it's facebook people are unwilling to post things.
