Club Communications

I have played around with a few different ways of delivering the newsletter content and last weekend settled on using a blog. This will allow me to provide information almost as soon as it becomes available. The address for the blog is http://asrcnewsletter.blogspot.com. The email newsletter will continue but will just be a cut and paste of the blog entries.

While on the subject it is worth going through the various communications for the club. There are now three web based environments as follows:-

The club website at http://www.aldershotskiraceclub.org which is effectively the "corporate" face of the club hosting key information about the club including photos and videos and providing joining information.

My blog at http://asrcnewsletter.blogspot.com.

The clubs facebook group Aldershot ski race club where you can do the sort of things people do in facebook!

If anyone has other ideas then please let me know. As an example I have managed to come up with a practical use for twitter so if there are users in the club we could use it as one way of providing urgent updates.

Urgent communication is one area of communication I still want to sort out to cover situations like sudden cancellation of training or as last Saturday an accident on the M25 stopping people getting to the race on time. I do have the latest list of mobile phone numbers but unless you have kept it up to date this is not much use. Phoning 50 different people is also time consuming and not necessarily the best method so I would like to compile an urgent contact list which includes the best method of communication for each family. Can you all please let me know the best method for communicating with you urgently whether it be mobile phone, sms, email, IM, twitter, whatever so that I can pull this list together. For the record, my preference is email but on race day the best way to get hold of me is on 07921399368.
