Radyr & Morganstown Hub
Yes, Radyr and Morganstown have finally moved into social media with the launch of the “Radyr & Morganstown Hub”. This is a Facebook Page for the entire community that we hope that local residents, organisations and businesses will come to make their own.
We launched the page just over two weeks ago and so far it has been very successful. We have already had over 150 people liking the page. These people will will get details of events and news fed straight into their own news feed without having to search for them. Over 1000 people have already looked at the page to see what is there.
We have been posting details of our own events ourselves, notably the Christmas Tree lighting event. There have also been posts about the RMA meeting speakers, Arriva trains new system of penalties for travelling without a ticket, Twinning, Bryn Deri School, Parish events, PACT, Cardiff Harlequins running club and the Radyr and Morganstown Rouleurs amongst others.
Obviously a number of groups and individuals have started using it. However, to make it really successful, we need more of you to start using it and posting on the page. We hope organisations will use it to tell the community what they are planning to do, where they need help and what they have been doing, with pictures if possible. Showing what you do will hopefully get you new recruits as well. Businesses can use it to tell us what they are doing.If you don’t have an account yourself, or no one in your organisation does, just send the information to us at events@radyr.org.uk and we will put it on for you. Another area where it can be used is if anyone wants to set up a group or start an activity that does not already exist. This is a great way to find like minded people. For those of you who do not use Facebook, why not start today. There are over a billion users worldwide and 30 million users in the UK, about half the population.
It is easy to get started by going to www.facebook.com or simply doing a google search on “How to open a facebook account”. You will be up and running in no time.
The Page is for everyone in R&M and it is there to supplement both the website and the Radyr Chain. Please use it to make it as beneficial to our community as possible
