Hi there,
Could we please have an event on the SSS Facebook page for the race start? I think it would be a nice way to share what's happening with friends.

There's a facebook page? I had no idea. But then again I don't utilize social networking, so I would never think to look for such a thing. What's the URL?

Thanks for the link. Looks like that page hasn't been updated since April and contains very little substantive information. This suggests the page is not being maintained.
I couldn't see beyond the page the link pointed to as facebook wants me to login to see more and I don't have a facebook login (and I'm not going to create such a login).
You're right though - the page should either be maintained or it should be deleted. Stale, out-of-date information is not helpful to the SSS. If it were up to me, I'd delete it as we already have a web site and a forum - I don't see the benefit to adding a facebook site to manage.

The Facebook page was, I believe, started by Max sometime back.
As Rob suggests, it has been intermittently been maintained (at best).
I see no inherent harm in it, although having stale and out of date info and content does no-one any good.
Let me speak to Carlianne before we do anything to it.
getting back to Philippe's suggestion; it's not a bad one (I assume you are speaking of a "FB live" type event), but I'm hard pressed on who has the time to deal with it.
I was only thinking of an event, like this:

It takes a few minutes to set up.

A Facebook live would be fantastic! I know it seems like a serious commitment just when a lot of things are going on but anyone with a phone can get it done.

The question will be wrt zooming in the action. Someone could walk along the docks and get a few words from departing skippers'. Then a few words from each RC members. Then the starting sequence.
I know it's easy to overthink and want a good camera, maybe even a drone but really anyone with a smartphone and a good connection can do this :-)
I inherited the SSS website, forum, and FB page when I took on secretarial duties of the board. Tech stuff ain't my forte, and with trying to get the boat ready for the SHTP, I simply have no time for this. If someone else wants to take it on, you have my blessing. Most people seem to have migrated away from FB anyway.
