I had no doubt Craig that you would have no trouble getting on.  It's rest I am worried about.  But I have been watching and I see that there have been a few newbies joined the Forum.  Great!

Will we (ideally) be using this platform to communicate 'All Things Morning Crew', including lunch arrangements etc?  That would be great, as the list of Morning Crew  email address list keeps growing - as more guys join and inboxes are getting cluttered.

Re Roger's comment:  Will we (ideally) be using this platform to communicate 'All Things Morning Crew'?

That's the plan Roger. 

While communicating with our freinds in the morning crew, our email list has grown to more than 30 TEMAC members. 

Keeping the list was getting cumbersome to manage and when people change their email address they found themselves no longer in the loop. 

The morning crew can still use email, or even use the personal messaging feature provided in this Forum when one wishes to have private conversations.

The sky's the limit on what we can use it for. For example, start a 'topic' in the Morning Crew Forum to tell others when you are going to the field to fly, when we are holding barbecue, when we are bringing out Warwings, etc.

Everything and anything that is happening on a weekday involving the morning crew can be communicated here. 

It can even be used for historical/record purposes to keep a record of what fun we are having.

Note to other TEMAC members.  No! you don't have to be part of the morning crew to post in the Morning Crew Forum.   As a matter of fact we even encourage it. (Eventually we hope everyone at some point can partake in morning crew activities.)

Similarly, if someone in the morning crew has plans for the evening, the weekend, or for other matters covered elsewhere in the broader TEMAC Forum, then use those areas of the Forum for the most applicable means of communication.
