Good idea Sue.

Like Sarah, I have made some of my closest friends on UKS and in very regular contact with a group for years.
I was a team member but as chatter and team interaction dwindled I drifted away. I am an active scrapper and would be happy to join a team with people I feel a connection to and would even consider being a team leader. I actively take part in FB challenges, both personal teams and sponsor/business type challenges. I also follow many scrappers on Instagram. Inspiration is widely available on Instagram so UKS may need to find an uniqueness to breathe fresh air into it for longevity .
I was always very appreciative of MaryAnne for her personal commitment to UKS and that of the moderators as I appreciate its time demanding.
For info - these are the groundrules for the Facebook group ...
To use this group page you need to
- be a member of UK Scrappers
https://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/boards/index.php
- include your UKS username in your posts
- be kind and polite
- post 'chat' in the designated chat post; posts on the wall will be removed
- share your scrapbook pages, cards, etc in the UK gallery not on this group
https://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/index.php
- only post business ads if you are a UK Scrappers sponsor
I'm sure this probably won't be very easy to implement as I would imagine it would need to be a feature built into the forum software, but it would be helpful if the site was also mobile friendly. Many sites are dynamic and change to suit the device you are using and it would probably help people use the site a bit more if they could just pop on while on their mobile phone as I know myself going on the computer doesn't happen as much as I'd like lol
Opening the FB group up more and inviting those on our FB friends lists, has definately caused a lot of us to revisit, hopefully to stay :)
Off to look round the boards and reminisce before anything gets deleted, although I think it's probable that most from when I was originally here has already gone.
I know that it costs a lot for UKS to continue each year and the sponsors are vital to obtaining the funding for this. As an ex-sponsor I speak from personal experience that having people thank you goes a long way to helping them to stay, this includes using them to get your supplies as without that they will not survive.
Over the years most of my scrapbooking stuff has gone to the back of the cupboard, but I feel the urge to have a sort out and see what I can find :)
Linz it’s fab to see you back here ... lots of stuff you remember will still be here and drag that paper out ... you know you want to x
