I think they could do with a bit of promotion, especially if they need more help. The SCAS website needs redoing too - there's no mention of the senior outdoors SCAS intercounty at all; I claimed a SCAS record last year from the self same competition and never heard anything more, there's records from my own club that were only done on target days etc and plenty of better scores that I know of... I feel an email coming on! |
I tend to agree with you moo mop, the website does need revamping and I understand that the web master is in consultation with a. n. other to do just that. When you think that SCAS is the biggest region in the country and its site has only had 29thou odd hits, (and bearing in mind that its my "home page" so it goes up by 1 every time I log on) and a small county like Bedfordshire has had just over 30thou hits it make one think.
With regards to getting more promotion this is quite difficult. I know that the SCAS general secretary asks for information to be sent to the webmaster at nearly every SCAS Council meeting. He is certain that the county reps that attend these meetings pass all his requests on to their respective counties, I am sure that they in turn pass this on the their own club reps at County meetings. Whether they pass it on is another kettle of fish.
Now about your record claim. I presume that you have downloaded the claim form from the link on the SCAS website and it also give the criteria by which a claim must be made. Ruth Hung is the SCAS Records Officer.
I do need a little clarification on something you said in the firs paragraph, "as it falls between posts of being local (counties) and national". I didn't quite understand what you meant there or am I having a "thick moment"?
Robert (in the next post) has the right idea - more fresh blood is needed. Its the same people doing the work year in and year out
