LATEST NEWS...
The website is live!
We are delighted to announce the safe delivery, on time, of the DSP’s shiny new website. I hope it will find its way onto everyone’s Favorites list without delay! It is, of course, also linked to our presence on Twitter and Facebook.
What you will see now on www.disabledshooting.
org.uk is Phase 1 of the site. A lot more material will be added to it during Phase 2 over the next month or so. After that, in Phase 3 we will create some more sections to ‘bolt on’ as they are ready – most of these relate to DSP schemes that are still in development, such as Focus Clubs, Coaching Modules, and the Disabled Shooting Year.
The website is, of course, a key part of the DSP’s communications system, which should help us to achieve our goals for the next 12 months, but we will continue to publish information in magazines, bulletins, etc. as well.
I would like to record my enormous gratitude to Clive Garnham who built the site for us and presided over my vertiginous learning curve! It is just over a month since he received the confirmation to go ahead with the project, so it has been very hard work all round.
As I have by no means finished learning the mysterious arts of web-mastering, there will undoubtedly be hiccups in future – may I apologise in advance, both to site users and Clive.
Next steps Now that the site is operational, please would you:
1. Spread the news! 2. Arrange for a link to it to be placed on as many websites as possible! The more links we have, the higher up the search engine rankings the site will be,
and naturally we’d like it to be top of the list! I am attaching a .jpg of the DSP logo which can be added with the link if you wish. 3. Feel free to submit things for the site and encourage others to do so. News, technical information, diary items, etc. will all be welcome. We are particularly keen to find good video footage and photographs to illustrate as many different aspects of disabled shooting as possible, so perhaps some people would like to turn themselves into film directors and actors for a day or two and send us the results. Reminder: Please ensure that everyone featured has given their permission for it to be used on the internet, and remember that names (if people are willing to give them) do make things much more engaging.
I am aware that information in some areas is thin on the ground, but we did not want to delay the launch because of what we want to accomplish by March 2013. I am particularly aware of the lack of material on fullbore, clay target and field target disciplines and that is something that I would like to remedy as quickly as possible, so contributions on those topics will be particularly gratefully received.
Clubs
The information on disabled-friendly clubs is rather patchy, because most of it I have hoovered up from their own websites. This is time-consuming, and also does not guarantee up-to-date accuracy. I will shortly be sending out a concise e-form, which can be completed and returned by clubs that wish to be properly represented on the site. I do have details of more clubs to go on at the moment, and hope to have them all up in the next couple of days.
I do hope you all enjoy the new site. It feels about time for a bit of a celebration! LIZ...
