Well done on taking the plunge! ...although the hard work begins now I like the idea of the Cornwall info group... I might pinch that if you don't mind. If there is one thing I have learned from the Cyprus group I run, it is that once people see that it is an actively managed group they will start to contribute and promote it. There will always be the 'lurkers' but I keep plugging away at the need for everyone to join in.
I am still amazed at the number of people who try to join when they are property managers or run a rental agency despite the description saying 'No Entry'. One got quite shirty when I declined her saying that it is unfair... excuse me? You want me to work away for free to promote your rentals so that you get your commission while I get diddly squat?!?! I try to check every new member application to weed out inappropriate members,
Hope it all goes well for you!
Facebook group for Cornwall owners?
Just popped in to say, there has been a booking through the group already! Although still small, numbers are creeping up and I continue to advertise wherever I can. If you are a Cornwall owner (or like to holiday in Cornwall) please do come and join us.

It's absolutely fine Nigel. It's a closed group which prevents scammers from getting in easily and wreaking havoc. If you were a regular facebook user you'd be more than comfortable joining a closed group. The (closed) dog holiday group I'm admin on has reached 55 thousand members and has been the broker in many, many holidays.
