Hi, Great site. Myself and my lad are regular visitors (I think he likes to see pictures of himself and read the results)

A couple of suggestions for items on the site:

(1) How about doing a monthly profile of an athlete / a coach / an offical or even a parent , it could be a set format each month.  Eve may even want to use them to give to the local paper. (Could I suggest maybe Ashley Wren to be the first after his performances at the Northern U15 's champs), However I wouldn't suggest we just pick the high achievers we also look at the club athlete who turns up to every training session / league meeting and gives their best

(2) I am a member of British Athletics club and know they are trying to raise their membership before London 2012, I believe they are looking at other websites to provide a link to their site http://www.basclub.org.uk/.

Thanks Matt, I’ve added a link to the British Athletics Supporters Club on our ‘Links/Associations’ page and invited others to comment via our ‘Latest’ page.

Matt,

I think this is great idea. I think that maybe we could do more than one a month and build a "profiles" page.

Matt,

I do think it’s a good idea and I’ve already spoken to the paper about doing something very similar, especially when there aren’t very many competitions on.

The first one I’m going to do is for any athlete that gets chosen for English Schools.

When an article goes in to the paper I’m trying to make sure that each athlete gets their results and name in the paper as its nice for them to see and also trying to make sure that different athletes have their picture in .

Any suggestions for an article or anything you would like to see in the paper would be gratefully received.

Matt

A cracking idea that will undoubtedly enhance our already first class web site and give the young athletes even more reason to look at themselves on the net. Are you able to help out with it and develop the set up format with Roger and pull together a ‘dry run’? From there with Roger’s expertise it should look great!

Cheers

Neil
