Thanet Squash Club website updated

Posted by Paul at 10:18 pm

The website for Thanet Squash Club has been updated to use our Sports Club Design system.

The original website was designed by ourselves back in the days when most people had dial-up internet access, and was thus written with short download times and an information led design. It was a bespoke system which included a database driven members area.

Modern websites have more freedom graphically and of course there is a greater emphasis on social interaction. The new Thanet Squash Club website carries across the previous features, but now allows greater flexibility for administrators to add and edit pages, and to post news items which appear automatically on the home page. Documents and news for members only are contained in the Members Area which requires members to log in to view.

As a large Kent squash club with nearly 300 members, the new website should allow the committee to interact with it’s membership and keep them informed.

Fearntech Results System used for 2009 Canterbury 10 Mile Road Race

Posted by Paul at 8:57 pm

Our Results System developed in 2006 for local athletics club (Invicta East Kent Athletics Club) was successfully used again today for their big event of the year, the Barretts Canterbury 10 Mile Road Race. The event had nearly 1000 entrants this year, although the driving rain meant that the number running on the day was around 750. The men’s race was won by Adrian Mussett (Colchester Harriers) in a time of 0:52:31, the Ladies race was won by Helen Decker (Ipswich Jaffa Running Club) in a time of 1:00:23.

This year’s event was the first time that Invicta had used their new chip/tag electronic timing equipment which greatly increased the speed with which we were able to get the prize list out. In fact, we had 600 runners in the system before we had managed to enter 100 using the parallel manual recording system! The only complication was around 10 runners that either did not run with their tag or ran with it in their hand (needs to be attached to shoe), all of which were picked up by the manual recording.

All in all, a successful day for the race and for our own involvement. We have also picked up some enquiries about our new Sports Club website system from race participants, and development of this will be our key focus for our Sports sector work this year.
