Canuck Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Noticed a handy link to all 17 Districts for those who need to plan trips, order maps, etc. Click on the District, and it takes you to the region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutter Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I've tend to like clicking on the good ole "links" then click "district and club links", since it also gives club links rather then just districts. The map is a nice touch for newbies who don't what the district numbers are in relation to where their thinking about, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 I used to click on the District Map as well (did it last year when I needed a map - presto, had contact and they were kind enough to mail me a map). However. when you click on the District by map as per above you don't get the same detailed information. When you click on District 11 (as a random example) using my original link, you get..http://www.ofsc.on.ca/Links/ListEvents.asp?Dist=11 . Maybe I'm missing something, but the Club Level info. seems more comprehensive. That's a good thing, and a wonderful use of resources. Clubs are developing information sites and forums, with easy access from the OFSC website. Perhaps that info. could also be available by clicking on the map for District 11? Up to OFSC, I guess (or, maybe that info. is avail. by clicking on the map, but I'm just not seeing it ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the kind of 'real time' to which you're referring but important information like "last Groomed on _______" and "next Grooming on ______". TATA was one I could use as an example for some of that kind of information. Whether they still do (or still will this year) or have been forced to comply to the HotLink to the OFSC site policy is something I guess we'll see shortly. Seems most, if not all, clubs have fallen into lock-step on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to TVBrian our tech guru and groomer coordinator we are trying out something new called LayinRibbon .... pages on Youtube, Facebook and Twitter, where (depending on the operator) updates will be direct from either the cab of the groomer, or as soon as the run is over, as we have been doing on club forums for the past few years ... just now were adding a near live vid link.

skidooer Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 on ... Twitter Nice! I hope other clubs follow suit in the near future. But I have to ask: This has been the hot topic for several years now and we were always told it was impossible for a myriad of reasons, mainly legal ones. What changed this year that finally allowed it to go forward? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndySKS Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 on ... Twitter Nice! I hope other clubs follow suit in the near future. But I have to ask: This has been the hot topic for several years now and we were always told it was impossible for a myriad of reasons, mainly legal ones. What changed this year that finally allowed it to go forward? Or did they change their minds ? Maybe the unwritten rules have had the reins loosened off a bit ? I for one really cant understand how the OFSC could tell you what a separate incorporated identity can or can not put on their web site. I'm sure the office people up there in barrie have their hands full administering far bigger things than that...or at least they should. Good Job Nutter and the rest of the PPSC gang, it's about time that real life reports were getting out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What changed this year that finally allowed it to go forward? There never was rules against doing it, clubs can do what they want when it comes to reporting on their own (but will be self responsable for it, in other words no crying the big bad OFSC hung us out to dry ... LOL) ...... All it took for us to do it is for someone to volunteer to do it ... that's it .... no loop holes, no trickery just plain old someone with the means to do so willing to do it.

Good Job Nutter and the rest of the PPSC gang, it's about time that real life reports were getting out there. Don't thank me Dave it's Brians baby, I have no want to play with elecro gidgets before during or after my grooming shift, I just go groom and post what came out the back of pan on our website when I wake up, or sometimes before I hit the hay. But if someone wants to ride along and do it ... when I'm in a area with cell coverage, I'll come back and get them on the round trip cause I ain't waiting for them to do ..... :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
