Few things about this FB page
The powers that be never shut it down - I personally asked Phil to remove the SIDC name from the title for several reasons:
Firstly, he didn't have permission to set it up in the first place. Phil stepped down as VC for personal reasons and to then do something like this without at least having a discussion first was wrong.
Secondly, on more than one occasion within that page there were negative remarks regarding the forum, club and/or committee - these are not acceptable if you are trying to promote the club.
Phil then chose to close it down, rather than amend the title - I see FB as an additional medium to the forum and club where events, threads etc can easily be promoted but people then begin using that medium on FB without the need to go to the club site or forum and this would detract from the need to become a user and or member of SIDC as a club/forum.
Just as you are disappointed because you thought it was a good idea, there were just as many, in fact more, who thought that it was a silly idea, i.e how many SIDC FB pages do we need?
There still is the Scottish SIDC FB page, please feel free to use that. Remember the club is not only Scottish Alun, it's national and to a lesser extent international.
I hope this answers some of your questions, and I would hope that your thread won't escalate into another slagging match about committee etc as it's simply not the case.
