organising an event
helping you get your activities off the ground
Whether you want to get together to discuss a local issue, advertise an existing event, or simply meet up for a general chat, you might find the following ideas useful. We will be adding more useful tools soon to help you get your event off the ground.
promote your event in the members' diary
The following tool will create an entry in the members' events diary and on the events noticeboard for the public to see.
You can also email your contacts a link to the noticeboard to invite them to your event.
Before you create an entry you might want to check the diary to see if there are any other events scheduled for the day you are planning yours. Simply select a month to view.
To create an entry in the members' events diary, simply login to the members' website at www.co-operativemembership.coop and go to Your Community, click Submit New Event and complete the form.
Please note that all diary entries are subject to moderation by The Co‑operative Group.
