22/08/2010 – Webmaster required

 

A volunteer is required to take on the position of web master from early September onwards. The work will involve looking the web site to keep it up to date and posting information from or authorised by the executive officers.

 

Much of the work centres on the league/cup and individual championship and much of the preparatory work has been completed by the current web master who will be unable to continue much after early September.

 

It is essential that a volunteer for this position has the IT skills and time to commit to it. This matter will be an agenda item at the EGM on 1st September by which time we should be in a position to report if any progress has been made.

 

The executive officers thank Paul Douglass for all the work he has undertaken since taking on the position as Webmaster.Anyone interested in taking on the position should contact Ernie Lazenby asap.
