About this Website

Please mention the website if you have come into the club after finding out about us on this site.

I recently had a lovely e-mail telling me that this is the worst website on all of the internet. Hey - maybe we could win an award for that :-) Well - we`ve won plenty of awards for the beer ! My correspondent was not specific - he just said it was crap - so please send in your suggestions for how this site can be made even worse.

Seriously, I can think of a number of ways of making it worse. It could be a fancy, flashy thing with all sorts of bells and whistles that are there just for show. It could have too many graphics and pictures which obscure and distract from the information content. It could be bloated in size and so convoluted in its layout that it would be unreliable and slow to use, making it difficult to find the information you`re seeking. There are more than enough websites like that.
Do you want fancy ? If so, the Red Shed (and its website) is probably not the place for you. "Keep it simple" is the watchword here.

Things to do

Here is a list (in no particular order) of possible upgrades to this site which I have in mind, and may get around to doing at some time.

More e-mail contacts (at present all e-mails come through the webmaster)
More info about other organisations who regularly use this club for meetings etc.
More pictures - but don`t want to overdo it
A members` section with more detailed info. (eg. Rule book, published accounts etc.)

Any other ideas ?? Feel free to make suggestions.

DISCLAIMER : No liability accepted for errors & omissions - but we will try to make the site as accurate and up to date as reasonably practicable.
Spotted anything that needs changing or adding ? e-mail info@theredshed.org.uk [Please include "Website" in the subject line of the e-mail to make it less likely I will miss it]
