A few guidelines / principles on usage of the WhatsApp group. The idea is to provide short/concise and useful information and not fill up the chat with noise/chatter.
This chat group is for sharing/communication of intent to go to a particular site and flying conditions (reported from the site) for the benefit of others or example:
o Mark G heading to AGNEWS NW 1pm
o AGNEWS 10-15mph NNW OVERCAST (plus other pertinent info – showers, gusty etc)
o AGNEWS PILOTS FLYING (in the air)
o AGNEWS AIRSPACE USAGE ACTIVE 0-5000 2pm-5pm etc.
o AGNEWS + A Photo of the conditions (possibly from the bottom if clagged in) or of pilots flying or parawaiting etc J
o AGNEWS + Relevant Notifications, Warnings or Reminders on restrictions etc.
· This chat group is NOT for:
o General chit chat about what you had for dinner or how soft your new jammies are
o Calling people ejits, leg pulling, pictures of your new lycra flying suit
o General flying chat (we can set up another group or use the email service)
