Meetup

I have been using Meetup.com for other local interest groups and it's really helpful.

The whole function of Meetup is geared towards getting people to meet in person, rather than hanging out on the web and wondering what might be cool to do one day... ;)

Has anyone here used meetup.com successfully for Belegarth?

All of our events are advertised on meetup through another group. It might be easier to share the costs of meetup with a few realms. I definitely get the word out through it.

See you at Battle for the Ring in January www.battleforthering.com

Meetup just added the ability to create new "topics" or tags.

So there's a new topic: "Belegarth". Yay.

Meetup.com is an excellent tool ! I'm an assistant organizer with one made for Denver Amtgard, Named Denver Medieval Combat Sports, and they're nice enough to let me add our practice information.

http://www.meetup.com/

It is about $72 to create a group though. Most of the clubs I'm a part of collect a $5 membership fee to cover the website cost.

Meetup is not only great for recruiting, it's also a great way to find some new hobbies and meet new friends. I found Roller Derby thru this site, and the Beer Judge class I'm taking.
