Societies Refreshers Fair - Day 1

Plus points: It was a good idea, we need more members, our stall looked good, the Roses tasted good, Wally from Wheres Wally was in attendance.

Minus points: It was badly advertised by the Union, the Venue doors didnt even have a notice on, around 25 people walked around the room over a period of over 4 hours out of a population of over 10000, our all male presence was scaring off the ladies, and we only got 3 signatures.

An Introduction

2006-01-23T20:15:00.000Z

Right, I'll explain my idea about this a little bit.

We need a website for the society, with all the normal website stuff on, general information, a few photos and contact details. The problem with most websites is that once a website has been created, its never updated, people never re-visit it and loose interest. With the addition of a blog, we have an easy way to provide an up-to-date look at what STAR Northumbria are doing at present.

Becky, I envisaged the blog being used for things like updates on projects we are doing, details of things the board may have discussed in meetings, requests for help, highlighting of issues which you may consider relevant, posting general information which might be of help, anything relating to the society really, possibly even to discuss problems we might have with the SU...you get the picture. I dont think it should be limited to just the board, anyone who we trust who is involved with a STAR project and is in our society could be given access, for example, Lauren could post about her clothes sorting thing.

I think for now, one of these to encompass all our projects is enough, we arent big enough yet that people will be posting multiple entries per day on random projects.

Ill be filling the bar on the right with as much relevant content as I can find but I need ideas, so get commenting!

It may be an idea to invite guest bloggers to post some ideas, like we could ask Perry to write a short article explaining why the Harbour Project is needed and what goes on there.

Hmm, good good.

No doubt this media will help with the dissemination of ideas! We could include it in our flyer and put blogs up of ALL the projects we're involved with...yes, yes (I like this)! Give people some real STAR flavour, not too spicy but I bet there's chilli's in the mix, ouch! Excellent, makes me feel eletric!!
