Website launch

Posted on by January 22, 2020

It’s just over a year since I took over looking after the website from Irwin, who set-up and maintained the current club website for many years.

Irwin had unsuccessfully tried to hand over the website for a few years and in that time, the website design became outdated.

Using the feedback gained from the members survey I have re-designed the website with the assistance of Squelch design.

The re-design of the new website is nearing completion. Thanks to Bob, Mike, Sarah (on behalf of the committee), Irwin and Sue who all volunteered to review and test the site, without their help the project would not be nearing completion.

In the next day or 2 the current site will be taken off-line. The new site will then be transferred from the development page into the current web address.

Hopefully the new website will be useful and more informative for everyone. If you have any feedback when the site is launched please let me know.

One size fits all so perfect for seniors and juniors.
