Going to suggest it to Her Majesty then Linda-Mary? Great idea!
Maybe a concerted effort from the membership even?

Well Ron if I go to suggest it to Her Majesty perhaps I ought to take Michelle Obama with me--they seem to be buddies of a sort.  However if I can gather the POE family also--that might persuade the crown LOL.

Suitable Flickr groups now have an advert / link for POE, lets hope it brings in a few new members.

Well done Mick and thank you, that's exactly the sort of thing that POE needs in order to increase membership still further.

Purely for interest sake are they viewable?

Being in the same boat as you Ron when it comes to FB I thought I would try to put something from POE on FB.  I've never done it before but clicked on the blue f button under Bookmark & Share and it just popped the page straight into FB. 

I thought it would be better to rather use one of the tours so it was easy to delete the page and I then selected the "English Countryside" tour and clicked the blue f button and there it is.  (Although I don't think I should have let it put picturesofengland Chris & Sarah though but didn't know how to remove that bit.) duh. 

If different members select different tours and just click the blue f button POE will be all over FB!

I don't use facebook personally but it must be a good shot. If it gets 1 paying member it's done it's job, athough preferably a lot more. Unfortunately I do think that the forum posts such as this are mainly now just between those of who are actively trying to push for donations, in that we keep looking for updates and putting reminders, but this does NOT mean we should stop. We have to keep going simply in the hope that someone will think 'whats all this about' take a look at a thread and donate.
