Help Please Gents

[HomerJSimpson]

I need your help please. I know we've talked about club newsletters etc and some of you were kind enough to send me links to their clubs or e-mail me a copy. I've got a meeting next week with our committee to see if it is an idea we can use to get information out there quicker and easier to the members. Unfortunately I can't find the threads on here, any of the links and and I can't find them in my mailbox either. If any of you have some information I can have I'd be extremely grateful

Homer newsletters are outdated and cumbersome. If your club really wants to connect with it's members with regular updates you should use something like twitter with links back to the main site where necessary.

I agree but we have a lot of senior and women members for whom Twitter is the noise a bird makes. We do have the website which has its plus points but sadly we tend to use noticeboards and tabletop notifications in the bar and so the club have asked me to help look at new websites and a quicker communication method

That's sexist and ageist and i would have thought better of you Homer. Now what is twitter when its at home ?

Leave it to the pros Homer, if they asked you (no experience in designing websites I assume) to look at it they must be looking to do it on the cheap. Cheap looks bad, there are plenty of web design students out there that would happily do it for 300-500 quid.

Personally would be happy for my club to se up something as a simple Facebook page. All that would then be needed would be a quick status update each day on the course condition, temp greens etc.

we are currently discussing this option within our swindle group that im a member of. the club has a very basic yet profession site, but a member suggested a faceache page so we can arrange games through there, with important announcements being made there also.

Its a simple cost effective (free) way of communicating with members, either that or a small basic forum, which im looking into at the moment for them, but then you have hosting fee's etc.

We have just started emailing,its the quickest way.

My club email now. This works fine. I don't have to log into the club site to see what's happening, just check my in box which I do anyway.

Twitter wouldn't work for me. I'm not registered on it, and don't want to be.
