RCCGB Social Networking Channels
As well as this website and the RCCGB Message Board, we have a social networking presence on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and a Flickr Group, allowing you to keep up with all things RCCGB via a number of these tools. These various channels which help you stay connected are described below.
Facebook Page
On the Facebook page you will find all sorts of topics/discussions connected with the club including trips and theme parks. You can ask questions or start discussion topics in the discussions thread, and also share your own coaster related photo's and videos by posting them on the page. The Facebook page is the best place to go and see members pictures and video's from trips and their own visits to parks.
Club events are set up in advance for forthcoming club trips where members can indicate if they will be attending. This is great to see if all your club friends will be attending trips.
Why not tell all your other Facebook friends you are 'Coaster Crazy' by "Liking" this page by using the Like button? Once you have "Liked" the page, any announcements and postings that appear on the page will also appear in your Facebook news feed so you don't miss any news, anything important or unimportant! RCCGB Twitter messages are also posted to the page, so when we are out and about on trips, you'll be able to see pictures and/or comments "as they happen".
To interact with the page fully, first of all you need to have a Facebook Profile. If you don't have a Facbook profile, simply go to the site and click on the 'Sign Up' button, choose your username and password in the traditional way.
You do not need to be a member of the RCCGB to access the Facebook page. We hope you'll enjoy the page and decide to join us. The facebook group can be accessed from the icon in the 'Stay Connected' box, or by clicking here.
If you are into Twitter, we have an RCCGB Twitter presence (@RCCGB). We will increase the usage of Twitter from 2011 onwards. The aim of this is to 'tweet' when new information becomes available regarding club issues, trips, availablility of online information etc. It also provides the opportunity to 'tweet' live from club trips and uploading any impromptue or funny pictures. (Subject to 3G/GPRS availability). So, if you have the technology.... Follow Us on Twitter!
Flickr Group
The club has a Flickr Group for users of Flickr to share their photo sets from coaster trips. Flickr offer free accounts (usage limitations) and many members are now keeping their photo collections on their own Flickr accounts, and linking RCCGB trip pictures to the group. All of the official club trip pictures are now stored on Flickr with direct links to the trip reports on this site, so it's well worth a look if you get a few spare minutes!
The Flickr group can be accessed from the icon in the 'Stay Connected' box, or by clicking here.
YouTube Channel
The club has a YouTube Channel. Here you will find some video's of events from the Blackpool Bash, members' POV video's, and anything else club relating that may be of interest to members. If you have any of your own YouTube video's you would like linking from the RCCGB Channel, please email webmaster@rccgb.co.uk with details.
The YouTube channel can be accessed from the icon in the 'Stay Connected' box, or by clicking here.
