Shall we create a new Facebook group that kinda replaces our Page?

We'd still keep the Page because it's good for tagging on Facebook and it's just another way to reach people / offers different functionality to a group, but honestly Pages have become such an incredibly ineffective way to communicate with our Brighton community. I think less than 10% of people see our posts on our Page unless we put money behind them.

By comparison, if we used a group for blog-like major updates, polls and other communications (maybe even the occasional gig, unless we properly do another group for that? perhaps that's another conversation!) then I think more like 40% of people would see the posts, and if we could get members of the group to click
Notifications > All Posts
then I think our posts would be seen by about 9 x as many people (90%+)

One of the functions of our Page could be to point at our Group.
So I guess I'd create 1 Facebook Group
Dignity platform BRIGHTON
then when we spread to another city, let's say London, create 2 more:
Dignity platform LONDON
Dignity platform GLOBAL (or UK)

Love this idea. I'm in :)
