A GUIDE TO KEEPING IN CONTACT WITH THE CORMORANT CLUB
Future Cormorant Club communication will be mostly electronic using the Defence Academy’s website (www.da.mod.uk/alumni/the-cormorant- club), by email and the business networking
site LinkedIn. The Cormorant Magazine and notification of news, and especially reunions, will be posted on these sites. The advantage of joining LinkedIn is that you will be automatically informed by e-mail of news about the Club.
To join LinkedIn you will need to have access to the internet and possess an email address, then:
1. Through your web browser, search for LinkedIn or use this url: http://uk.linkedin. com/
2. Fill in the necessary basic details to join LinkedIn – first name, last name, e-mail address and selected password. Once you are a member, there is no need to provide any further information beyond those basics unless you feel the urge to do so.
3. The Cormorant Club is at www.linkedin.com/groups/5113439
4. The group is “closed” and you will need to hit “Ask to join”. You will be accepted on the strength of your database details – although you may be asked to clarify some details to maintain the security of our group.
5. In order to receive “announcements” from the club via LinkedIn, please ensure the e-mail details you have supplied to LinkedIn are correct. You may also need to check
the “junk” folder of your e-mail – and mark announcements from the club as “not junk”.
There is benefit in visiting the LinkedIn group regularly – and in particular creating and commenting on posts. Visiting the Defence Academy website is also valuable. Please keep your contact details up to date by emailing cormorantclubsecretary.jscsc@da.mod.uk
