joining social groups

[Alfa Omega]

another newbie question.. how do you join a specific social group.. can you just click their tab/link and join or do you have to wait for an invitation or do you have to have a specfic interest or particular interest to join or use whichever make of telescope of the group, for instance a Tal to join their group or Dob or whatever to join theirs, what's the deal on joining social groups.

regards.Rob

Some groups exist cos the members have similar equipment and they can share useful info - others can be folks from the same area who meet up for social and observing sessions.

EMS for example has been going one year now and have two dark sites locally and we organise trips to star parties, and we have a Xmas do tomorrow.

In the dob group we're all over the country but share info on mods, links, help each other out with issues, and all sorts

Just click the "Join Group" icon and it takes you through a joining dialogue.
