TWITTER, FACEBOOK & OUR CLUB'S SOCIAL MEDIA
Submitted by Ari Talantis: "With Facebook barring Australians from finding and sharing news on it's service last Friday, I asked myself how might this affect our Club's Facebook page and decided it was too early to tell. I did decide, however, that it was time I asked all of you to consider spending some time on Twitter.
