As we mentioned in the last update, trials of a Facebook group for use by Institute members only are now complete. The only way that the group can be completely private and secret is for each member to be added individually by means of their email address - which will only be seen by the group and not appear anywhere else on Facebook, unless you already have your own FB account.

We shall begin to do this very soon and so if you would prefer not to be part of the group, please email your wish to 'opt out of the Facebook group' to Barbara (barbara@iocf.org.uk) by Friday, 18th March.

As soon as the group becomes a living and working entity, the Forum will be discontinued. From that point, the FB group will be the only way of communicating with all the other members. Full instructions on how to access and use the group will be emailed to you later in the month.
