Richard Aust commented on Steve Greenham's group 'Training'

Interesting survey going on on www.yachtingmonthly.com - about 80% of responses prefer the wearing of lifejackets to be personal responsibility rather than mandatory. It still surprises me that we see so many crew not wearing them - perhaps it's a m…

Steve Greenham replied to Steve Greenham's discussion 'Boat Bookings Calendar'

Half the club being registered is pretty good - I would be surprised if half the club regularly look at the main site ... or even regularly use the boats. Do we track the level of involvement by members? The problem with an "anonymous" site is there…

John Halliday replied to Steve Greenham's discussion 'Boat Bookings Calendar'

The reason for putting it on the main site with a simple login is that, in spite of encouragement, only about half the membership is currently registered on this site. I am sure this will evolve over time, but some people are still reticent about re…

Steve Greenham replied to Steve Greenham's discussion 'Boat Bookings Calendar'

I can understand the concerns about privacy but I'm not sure I see the point of having a password protected area of the main site as well as the Ning site. Why not just put the calendar on the Ning site? - but not on the front page as that is curren…

You'll be pleased to see that it's now been reinstated in a password-protected area under the main website http://www.phoenixyachtclub.co.uk/protected1 - this will help keep names of people away from home out of public view. Access requires Username…

Phoenix Yacht Club Online Noticeboard

The idea of this social network is to provide a place for club members to meet and chat online. Something like a cross between an online club noticeboard and leaving notes on the fridge! There are various features that may be useful and we can expand some and remove others as we learn what works best. Please scroll down to see latest activity.

Subscription Discount Scheme - Value for money?

Seeing as interest rates are so low at the moment, the current SDS seems a good investment. As a minimum it is saving £50 a year on membership fees and that is tax free. Where else can you get 5% net…
