ValleySport Project Coordinator, David Quinn said that many clubs are developing websites and this workshop will assist to maximise the benefits by becoming paperless and will cover issues such as communicating with members, online newsletters, building traffic to your site, building an online network and much more.
“It is great to have someone like Glenn to be presenting locally, but more important is the information and messages that he will be bring. Websites can be very effective at promoting your club and communicating with members. They provide great opportunities to recruit and sustain a club.s membership, acknowledge volunteers and recognise sponsors.” Quinn said.
