Fairchild Club Forum

 
I agree that FB and Codias both allow too much unrelated to theme topic discussion. The Groups.IO seem a reasonably structured setup but thay also have fees.  Here's is their membership categories and fee's: Note each column only has those bennies listed between the X and the "Last item" in each column.

Hello Brian,
I would like to suggest FaceBook as a Fairchild club alternative.  Great photos access, more people from all over the world.

I am a memeber of the Bellanca Super Viking club on FaceBook (FB) and love it.  Some great posts there.  Would be cool to see this group go there.

My humble thoughts on it.

I guess Yahoo groups has become a thing of the past.  I remember back in the day, we also had chat rooms.  That was really great till the russian bots began infiltrating and things just went downhill, now totally gone.

Sad to hear the group is being dismantled...
