The 'likes' have started but I'm sorry, I can't advise on how to improve the site.  As soon as you can get the messages bit going we can all start a dialogue.   :)

Good luck

Thanks Georgie.  What do you mean about the messages, is there a feature I need to activate or something?

You're saying it wouldn't let you add me as a friend?  Is there something I have to enable or something?

Anyone know how I add this to a group (gardening) on facebook ?
Maybe put you up to join?

Simon -just so you know I swore I would never join facebook again- but hey ho!! ( I also said I would never get a computer / go on the internet!)
For you it's worth it ;)

That's great support pumpkinlover, thank you.

I have posted on your page but alas I cannot help with design sorry.

Thanks Ellen, I appreciate your support.

You are now on Scarecrows Smith's page.  If only a few of his 1260 friends support you that would be a good thing. :)

I've also messaged a couple of facebook friends who also have many friends and asked for their support.

This is getting exciting!

Firstly content.  Have you set permissions on your page on who can post?  If others cant post mesages you cant build an audience but then you have to monitor what poeple post.  Pick slowly through all the settings on the admin pages - you will see posting permissions under manage permissions.
The its up to you - fill out all your info - post some pics and stories from your web site, share some links etc

I too have liked you page but what you need to do is to get other people to "share" the page. You can invite people by email, create like buttons, to put on your website.  Find every d**n allotment related page on FB and post your page on them!!!

https://www.facebook.com/FacebookPages?v=app_7146470109 is a good place to start and there are tons of tutorial vids on youtube..

Best of British and hey - you have 16 likes already!!

I see someone has already posted it to one FB allotment page  https://www.facebook.com/groups/107447489292198

Just post a link to the page in a comment - like in the https://www.facebook.com/groups/107447489292198 group

Haha, someone beat me to it  ;D

I've shared it on my Facebook page and the Gardens Weekly Group page.
I've also tweeted it, and added it as a discussion on two other gardening forums!  :)

I've "liked" the page. I hope it helps.

How do you share it so that your friends can see Unwashed's page ?

Pumpkinlover scroll to the bottom of Simon's post -

Thanks for that Twinklekat.

And thank you Flighty.

Thanks Flighty!

Hope we can all keep supporting Simon...........it could be anyone of us with an Allotment who dare to criticize the council

Thanks Den.  It's been going on for years and it gets me down sometimes, but I'm 46 and reasonably resourceful and I am hugely grateful for the support I've had from my A4A friends.  I think of how many allotmenteers in Newbury the Town Council will have bullied who won't have felt strong enough to have stuck up for themselves, so I reckon someone needs to make a stand.  All I'm asking for is that they're open and accountable, that shouldn't be too much to ask from local government should it.

If you haven't visited already - http://www.facebook.com/NewburyGrowingPains - hope you "like" it.
