‘First Friday fundraisers’ was designed to be the online equivalent of the free First Friday fundraising clinic and its membership reflects this really well, but it seems to operate more for fundraisers to keep in touch offline than on.
So should we instead turn it into a Facebook page and use it to post interesting stuff (we have bucket loads of that) rather than hoping discussions will eventually take off?
And if so does anyone know of a simple way of doing this, or do we set it up invite everyone to move over and close the Group?
Advice welcome!

I contacted Facebook and asked them to convert the group to a page. They did it quite quickly, if I remember correctly.
Having said that, I just found this:
"We're no longer able to convert Facebook Groups into Pages. You're welcome to create a Page and notify your Group members that you'll be using the Page instead of the Group going forward. If your Group has too many members to send them a message, we unfortunately aren't able to provide you with any other solutions for how you might contact them about this change."
It probably depends how cheerful they're feeling at the time...
