If you’re looking for exposure, you might also want to include the FUT groups that you set in with the original post’s cross-posts, so that people reading lugnet.loc.us.ny could see your message without having to read lugnet.announce.

I’ve been guilty of posting local group meeting announcements in the .announce group. Taking another look at the Charter, I guess I could agree that club meeting announcements don’t belong. Would you be inclined to say that a club display/show post doesn’t belong in that group either? What about a report and pictures from those type of events?

One positive from seeing club events in the lugnet sidebar is that for the last CLB meeting, it did get spotlighted by some and a person who might not have seen it otherwise saw it there, checked out the post and came to the meeting.

Maybe there is call for a new group: announce.club where clubs could post meeting, show, etc announcements.

(...) In my, personal opinion, Club meetings - which are more or less "Members only" - doesn't belong, while a display/show open to the public is spot on. (20 years ago, 15-Sep-04, to lugnet.admin.general)
