Depends on the size/scope, I guess. A gray area. I suppose to answer the question at hand: the .announce group wasn’t really intended to be used to announce small, local get-togethers.

   Are meeting/show reports/pictures proper for the main .announce group?

I think reports (especially with photos, which may interest the entire community) are more proper than announcements prior.

   Also, is there a group that should already be serving the function of a .announce.club group?

lugnet.events, possibly...but I like your idea of a new subgroup of .announce for this sort of thing.

Opinions on the name of the group?--
  • lugnet.announce.club
  • lugnet.announce.group
  • lugnet.announce.events
  • lugnet.announce.meetings
I tend to think that .announce.club sounds too much like announcements of clubs, rather than announcements pertaining to clubs. Plus, not all groups refer to themselves as “clubs.”

I’d probably lean toward .announce.events, since it covers a good gamut.

(...) Yep I agree. Possibly put a link in the header of .events too. ROSCO (20 years ago, 16-Sep-04, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)
