geordiegirl May 2020 2:19pm, 21 May 2020 10,225 posts	0 geordiegirl lots of 'you need to join fetch, check it out' posts being shared on various FB running groups. So maybe I will have encouraged one or two to come along, including a group of trail runners from Oz (who I had hoped to run with while we were on holiday failed due to c-19) one had said they would love to split out trail running!!
Rrunner May 2020 2:24pm, 21 May 2020 418 posts	0 Rrunner +1 from me too. Nice idea. Also added a comment about linking to club based threads on the forum.

Sigh May 2020 2:30pm, 21 May 2020 6,342 posts	0 Sigh Thanks folks. From my time on St**va, the clubs section was popular but actually pretty insubstantial. The only thing I could recall that it had that's not here is a mileage league by club, to see who's done the most per week/month (and why does that matter, we're all training for different things surely?) Anyone can add a race on Fetch - virtual or otherwise - which you couldn't do on there; and if all club members add it to their race portfolio then the results are already shown on the club page ranked by fastest: see 'recent race results' here on top left fetcheveryone.com/clubs-view.php?id=1751 I don't think it would take much tweaking to make the Fetch club pages as comprehensive as the orange ones. It would also be good to add the option of cycling/swimming/triathlon/walking/orienteering clubs.
HappyG(rrr) May 2020 2:35pm, 21 May 2020 34,867 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) Of course, the hard bit is the ubiquity of stroova. Because almost everyone I knew and anyone who became known to me, tended to be on it, I could have a pretty high chance of seeing them. Also, real names (mostly!) much better for stalking. But it's better here - way more exclusive! G
Nellers May 2020 2:43pm, 21 May 2020 36,321 posts	0 Nellers The real names thing is odd though. I've got non-fetchie friends who know me as Nellers now because they either see Fetchies call be that on Str**a/Facebook or I was introduced to them by a Fetchie.
Sigh May 2020 2:46pm, 21 May 2020 6,343 posts	0 Sigh Nellers is easier for me, so I don't get you mixed up on FB with another friend who has your name
Sigh May 2020 2:47pm, 21 May 2020 6,344 posts	0 Sigh [mind you, he has a joint FB acc't with his wife, so that helps]
HappyG(rrr) May 2020 3:05pm, 21 May 2020 34,869 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) Yeah, but if I want to look up new colleague, who bikes a bit, who has just said to me "ooh, I see you run a bit" having looked me up on stroova, by my real name, we can't do that in here. Anyone here use LinkedIn (for work, not for running!)? All I use it for is "XX McYY, wonder where he / she worked and if I know anyone they know?" So stroova is a bit like that for me. A universal lookup. That's about it though.
