I am the badminton webmaster!
I volunteered for the webmaster / email coordinator for my badminton club and I heard yesterday that I won the election. Mine was actually the only position on the ballot – everyone else was unopposed but I was up against the incumbent wm/ec … who I later discovered was also the club’s founder! He doesn’t play any more, so I feel a bit less guilty about beating him, but it’s still a bit odd.
The executive committee (coo!) are meeting next week to strategise (OK, it’s mainly a meet & greet for me, given I’m relatively new) but I’m going armed with a long list of questions & suggestions. The current site is all in Flash, which I will be replacing with good old text so that people can bookmark individual pages, copy information (e.g. date & venue of the upcoming competition) and hopefully get us on Google so that prospective members can actually find us! (I’m considering using a content management system or a wiki rather than cranking out HTML … but I’m not sure yet.)
Of course, given how busy my new job is keeping me, it’ll be bit of a challenge to find time to work on the website at first, but it’ll be fun.

Yah, well the other thing you might want to do is re-draw the map to actually correctly show the location of the bloody place.
In any case, congrats pardner

re-draw the map … and replace the out-of-date info with the new season dates etc. … and replace Flash with real HTML … and add keywords to get it listed properly on Google … and … I’m sure there’s more!
Tell me what you're thinking...
