Howood and John’s Hill then I presume

Good shout Darryl was thinking similar. Will get you on road.

What’s the route to lochwinnoch then?

Yes

yea I can't see thread either but saw it on Saturday Bunch messenger thread 

Some of the best tech is >15 years old. Wheels for example.

I would tend to agree with Iain regarding WhatsApp - its not designed for a club with such large numbers as JWCC but works well for small informal groups. If too large the thread can easily get lost or highjacked (so unlikely I know), plus having a system that pushes notifications for potentially such a large number of club members is likely to become intrusive and then ultimately lack utility. 

I'm not surprised at all that there is such varied feedback about the utility of the forum. In reality using digital tech tends to rely on multiple sources of access to accommodate inclusivity and diversity of users preferences, experiences and needs. Some people will be quite satisfied with the Website access via computer, others accessing the bunch forums via their smartphone, others news updates via facebook, strava or instagram or tinder (George).

Obviously one relatively accessible solution is to have access to push style notifications via your smartphone. It would be interesting to survey members, regarding their use of mobile phone to access bunch content online, their preferences for this or if current they do use a smartphone but do not access JWCC content via this then what would encourage this sort of usage. 

One solution, depending on users preferences would be to have a JWCC Mobile App that could push notifications in a more controlled way to users, for example social events, club rides, club events (e.g. Reliabilities, Chocolate Series). However, this would require central administration time and resource to update. There are some off the shelf products on the market that are worth exploring can can be made available via App store and Play store. I'm not sure the costs but basic 'fit all' platforms are likely to be economical for small businesses, clubs and societies. I did a brief search online but to give you an example check out:

Club rooms for me & remember we getting Andy @ Morrisons 

Cheers Charlie- I’ll drop you a text as I’m leaving. One wee route variation is that the Bunch might fancy coming down to the bagel basket

That’s going to be epic. See you at Morrison’s 

I think I was just after Galeb on the KoM but nobody seemed to notice

I’m an absentee too. Labouring overseas 

Yes in my time travelling machine 

Think I’m wimping out too 

Is anyone going out?

I’d be up for this on Saturday 

Hi Ian

eta back to cars would be 1230 and home for 1330

andy

This is one of the great JWCC days out! We didn’t make it last year and make sure your passports are up to date

Hi guys

Had hoped to join you but there was a bit of play in my hub - nothing worse than irritating your cycling pals with a persistent repetitive noise. I’ll just leave that there

I'll sign up, never say no to the Crow :-)

Glen, is it possible to make it a 9am Clubroom start as it might be a bit early for others?

Cheers

Chung 

I’d like to do this but definitely not 0830 at clubrooms- even with the better light it’s still a decent run in from WK
