Hi All
Thanks to Sean I found the FB page (the National one)
When I try and post there it does NOT appear in the main timeline of the page as it should , but in a tiny "Visitors Section" which you have to go look for in "Posts"
Is this meant to happen or is it a FB page only for whoemever controls it ?
As it means that anyone visiting CANNOT post on the main page as they will be expecting...as its NOT a PRIVATE GROUP....OR IS IT ???
Or have they just set up the posting permissions incorrectly ?
Not sure if this is the correct place to post about the FB PAGE so have also sent a "Messenger" message to the page....
All the best Brett

Hi All
Chatted to someone official on National FB page and its NOT a public group....in case anyone else has this problem...
He pointed me towards the Southern FB page and have now requested permission to post there...without asking for each posting permission as I would have had to on National page
Not quite sure why National FB page is not a public group
As members cannot post there without permission for each posting, its really just a sort of advert page , not a FB group...
Ah well, maybe it will change soon...hopefully
So to anyone else looking to post on a TIPEC FB page...find your LOCAL one and apply to be allowed to post...
All the best Brett

It is a "page" not a "group"- they are different things.
No it won't change - it has a specific purpose (information) as do the 21 regional groups (Discussion).

While we’re on the subject, here’s the Yorkshire region Facebook group:
https://m.facebook.com/groups/1626365237676181
It’s a private group but welcome new members from all regions, TIPEC members and hangers on. Just take a moment to answer the questions otherwise your application to join may be rejected.
