 The Members' Chat Room
Many AMG members have told us they would like to meet up or chat with others on the site yet the idea of sending that first personal messages can be quite daunting. So we have provided a more informal way to communicate with the introduction of the Members’ Chat Room.
To get the most people online together one Member has suggested visiting the Chat Room at 7:00pm any evening. If all Members who want to chat start doing this then the chances of meeting are higher. For people who miss the 7:00 slot why not try on the hour at 8:00 and 9:00 etc.
Also see the new feature... In the box at the bottom of the screen type in a User Name to view the Profile of the person you are chatting with
Everyone is welcome! Why not join us?
