Club members - registration and what you can do

Fairfield Canoe club has a new website design. The site features regular club news updates and stories from members about races and club canoe trips. There is an event calendar that lists races, training sessions and other important club occasions. Occasional member polls also lets you tell us what you think about issues at theclub. Members need to register to vote in the poll or submit a news or story posting.

Once club members have registered they can:

  • Post stories
  • Vote in club polls
  • Make comments about postings and stories

FCC was probably the first canoe club online in the mid 1990s.

The club websites have remained “static” mainly providing information for new and potential members. A recent member survey revealed that most current members rarely visited the site. The new site aimsto be more interactive and we hope that it will encourage members to submit articles and stories. With the launch of the new site we will also be reducing the number of newsletters from four to two issues per year. Members will haveaccess to current and up to date information and the Communication Committee will have time to work on other projects – not to forget thesaving in paper and printing costs! If you do not have access to the internet and would still like to seewhat is being posted online please put a note in the red information box in the club house and we will post you a hardcopy of club stories.

The new website also has an ecommerce component and we arecurrently in the process of developing the ability for an onlinepayment option for club subscriptions and share holding payment. Check out the online poll now and tell us if you would be interestedin paying your subs online.  Members will need to register to use theecommerce function and access some of the other features. We arecurrently considering adding a forum to discuss training paddlingtopics. Any comments regarding the website are always welcome. And remember we encourage all members to submit an article or evenjust visit the site to vote on our latest poll.
