Committee Vacancy! Webmaster
The club website has been in place a number of years now and although fine and functional could do with some new blood in charge who can modernise it and add their own flair to make it a better visitor experience. I currently use WordPress to build the site along with elementor editing as this seemed like the easiest way into building the website when I started. So the club is looking for an enthusiastic person who either has the experience in website building who is interested in learning the craft. It’s not difficult to do but takes some time to learn every aspect and fortunately there are some fantastic YouTube videos out there to help. Of course if you’re experienced in a different web builder package and would rather build a new site from scratch then that option is available to you too.
The forum is by “Simple Machines” and again was an easy way of getting a forum uop and running quickly at the time. The forum is currently very stable and the only thing needed is a visit every now and again to manually accept new joiners as forum members ( done this way to stop spammers).
So if being on the club committee appeals to you or if you’d like to refresh/rework the club website to a more modern and fresh theme then please contact the Club Chairman, Richard, on chairman@ukcobraclub.co.uk with your interest.
