Following some late night deliberations on ways to potentially swell our numbers for future rallys, and generally spread the love of all things Viscount here's a link to the Facebook group I set up awhile ago: m.facebook.com/profile.php?id=502747093150261I've not done anything to it since setting it up last year (except changing the name just now) and there's only one other member so far!! It's intended purely as an alternate way to link to the forums and perhaps an easier way to share photos etc? If you're on Facebook please join up and feel free to post as you like! Lewis

I've never done Facebook (can you believe that? ) but might make an exception for this one! You're a very persuasive, passionate Viscount enthusiast!

Which are long, varied, mostly rational,but sometimes just my bloodyminded, awkward and stubborn nature. You sound just like me when I was your age!That's not a criticism,there is just to much personal info floating about ont web which I,personally,don't want to know about. The shame is,that,used properly,I can see social sites could be a power for the good.Shame that it doesn't seem to be going that way. I'm sure Lewis is quite capable of coming up with something this old dinosaur would be happy with. Good night all,time to get the Horlicks on and an early night after such a great week end. Cheers, Pete.

I'll have a go myself now Whippet. Bear with me as I only have phones to do it on! I've just added some more general Viscount photos and realised I need to update the Description although think I have to wait until I get home for that.

Very odd...mine finds it immediately but then I'm a member. Can't get to it from Cath's phone whatever I try. Cusqueno is the only other member so far - I wonder if he still has access??
Page Manager app is no help either. I'll keep seeing if I can find away around it, otherwise will try again when I get home.

Facebook Help section states that after creation a new page can take several days to appear on a facebook search. Since I've changed the name perhaps this is the reason? It was previously VOCCC but I doubt that will work either.

I'm not a Facebook expert but I can't find any Viscount group. I'm not sure my search finds any groups - guidance would be helpful. Incidentally, VOCC seems to be a weird religious group. I've tried searching using Google as well.

And we're still nonthewise. Lewis! Now that we're friends, could you please just point me to the club's page and I'll 'distribute' it on the forum, my blog, etc.?

Just this minute got home. May get around to it this evening but if not then soon I promise!
Are we not a weird religious group?

If we are we should be able to gain tax advantages and go for charitable status! We are,after all,preserving British heritage. Cheers, Pete.

We're definitely weird and we religiously follow Viscounts and Lamberts. Does that count?

Are we not a weird religious group? Ok, I am breaking all forum taboos by posting about religion (but what the heck, I posted a couple about politics, the other forum taboo topic and no one said nasty things, so here I go... Very good question and one which I feel compelled to have a go at. A religion might generally be said to have the following characteristics (how many can we tick off from here?) An organised collection of beliefs (often relating to existence, or the meaning of life) Has stories and narratives Has mythologies Morality/ethics/lifestyle stemming from the beliefs Has rituals Has sermons Gatherings for prayer, meditation Venerates a deity (or deities) gods, goddesses Has festivals Has feasts Has birth, funeral and other commemorative services In terms of psychology/sociology/philosophyAlso seen as serving a social function "Is the opiate of the people" Is wish fulfilment/ and/or an illusion I'd say we fit the the description.

Ho Ho,bring on my tax refund,quickly,there,are a few old bike parts I'm in desperate need of. The Greek myths are not as convoluted as the Viscount production records,which didn't have Homer to record them.We only have a limited number of sirens,but,all riders at DFR,were truely heroic!!!! Cheers, Pete.

Yep it's now LIVE!! and should be fully public.
It's still pretty roughly thrown together at present so please feel free to prettify it with your own pictures etc.
Think I've sent invites to all that I recently 'friended'?
Triitout I've sent a private invite to you (if I found the right person) but can't send an invite from the page to individuals until we are official fb friends.
Cusqueno, you should be able to see it again now and should already be a member.
Stella wins the green jersey for liking and sharing at astonishing speed!

I won, I won, I won!
I'll post some pictures of the Viscountess and a group photo of the rally. I'll also link from my blog (via button) to the page, so people who visit my blog will be able to find the group on FB
