Hello everyone. Thanks for your contributions on ideas for the website. I can say that we are slowly in the process of upgrading the site. We have a small sub-group working on its structure with a view to improving its appearance and the navigation. It’s not that straightforward unfortunately due to the WordPress software which is in use, but as its functionality is understood reasonably well by present administrators, we have decided to retain it, rather than start again from scratch. Besides there is a lot of good content already on the site, it just needs to be made easily accessible through no more than ‘three clicks’ away.
Suggestions on how to improve interaction are always welcome, though any extra activity that requires additional administration and organisation would benefit from additional members coming forward to act as coordinators, such as, for example the photographic competition suggested by John Cutler. This reiterates the latter point which Bob Allison made on 31st Jan.
I remember when I was appointed to the Hull Miniature Railway Society Committee in 1979, I suggested to them that the club really ought to try to stage its own annual show at a city centre venue… like other cities in the region were already doing. The committee members all agreed it was a good idea – so long as I organised it! So I did, and ran it for five years until someone else took on the baton.
So if members can help run an activity on the website (or even elsewhere in the Society) do please step forward.
