+Birdman-of-liskatraz Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I was meaning what's the point of having a privacy statement - if it's then totally overridden by Point 6? Anyway, I've contacted Groundspeak for clarification. Quote Link to comment

+drdick&vick Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 (edited) The data that has been added to the calender was added, by a member of the GAGB on a voluntary basis, using only the information on the Groundspeak Newsletter, I have just checked my last copy (which was the relevant issue) and none of the events that you have listed appear in the newsletter. As the newsletter is the volunteer's only source of data I don't feel that he or the Calender can be blamed. There is the facility for any GAGB member to add their own events should they wish.

+MartyBartfast Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Exactly .... which begs the question ... why publish a 1/2 rsed list ? ..... I suspect that Events only appear on the newsletter following their publication, in which case It may only be partially complete now, but when it's updated after the next Newsletter it'll have fewer omissions, and will shortly approach 100%. I think it's already a useful source, and will become more so very quickly. If you don't think it is then you don't have to use it. Quote Link to comment

The published events on the newsletter are pertinent to your home co-ordinates .... if you really want to find the list you need to do a search UK .... Events ... Quote Link to comment
+drdick&vick Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 (edited) Now added. Plus, remember that if you are a member of the GAGB the facility is there for you to add your own events. Edited May 12, 2010 by DrDick&Vick Quote Link to comment
+mtn-man Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I am sorry I missed a few of the comments in this topic. The name calling was inexcusable. Some socks have also been laundered and hung out to dry. My apology, and I appreciate those of you who remained civil in the face of unacceptable behaviour. Quote Link to comment
+RuberyBlue Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 Apologies for not including the Scottish Events, more of an assumption that my Events email showed all UK activities rather than 1/2 arsed! I'll make sure I generate a PQ next time! RB KRO! Quote Link to comment
