RUFF GUIDE TO USING THIS SITE

22 Sep 2009

First things first, make sure you become a registered member. We want to keep some things private, so some items are restricted to registered members. Once accepted, you will have access all areas. Don’t delay, get it done now and please fill in all the appropriate information boxes (phone numbers, e-mail address, home address, date of birth etc. double check u get e-mail address correct as these will be used to send future group mails).
Beware altering your player profile (if one has already been penned about you) unless you are unhappy with it. It takes a few seconds for the text that is already there to appear, so if you type during this time (as Smudger did!!) you will delete what is there.
The site is in its infancy and a work in progress, but we’ve made a promising start and there is loads of scope. It should be an invaluable tool next year, provided everyone has the odd glimpse at it and participates.
Here’s what you will find under the different headers:
ACROSS THE TOP
News: self explanatory. All items of interest for club members will be posted here and updated appropriately. Log in on a Saturday night/Sunday morning and you will know exactly who has done what.
Fixtures: all 1st XI, 2nd XI, Sunday games, friendlies and indoor games will be posted. Indoor games for this winter are already up.
Teamsheets: these will be a great asset next year, when everyone will be able to see who is/isn’t playing in all sides. For an idea of what to expect, click on ‘Teamsheet’ and select ‘Indoor’. THIS WILL BE MEMBERS ONLY.
Teams: player profiles for the 1sts, 2nds, Sundays etc appear here. Some have already been compiled but, clearly, this is a project that is going to take a little while. Please don't be offended: they are meant to be a bit of fun! There is also a section for wags, past players. If you see a spelling error/typo in your profile (hey've been writen in a hurry), then please feel free to update your own profile and put things right.
Forum: go on here and discuss whatever you like. MEMBERS ONLY.
Averages: update automatically when a result has been posted. 1st XI league averages for 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 can be viewed. You can also click on a button that magically gives an average for all matches across the seasons. A volunteer is required to fill in old 2nd XI results. It’s a laborious process but will provide us with a great record. MAY MAKE THIS MEMBERS ONLY.
Stats: a search engine for those who want to put things under a finer microscope. Tap in a player's name and find out exactly how he's been performing. It’s remarkable.
Contact: an area where other clubs can get in touch with us.


DOWN THE SIDE
League tables: easy.
Events: it’s like an advent calendar, with little treats along the way. Click on the event that has been listed for more details. Some events up to and including New Year’s Day have already been posted for your attention (there are 5 in November, for instances, and 4 (perhaps not all true) in December. Use the arrows to move around. If you want an event put on or simply fancy a few drinking partners, e-mail Greeno or Stevo.
Location: to help rival clubs find us.
History: needs writing up. The truth may be boring so, for fun, may fabricate one going back to 1586.
Officials: they are listed.
Honours Board: who won what when. This is a work in progress.
Photo Galleries: got some old treasured cricket pictures that belong here? Get in touch.
Links: none given yet.
Site map: All current members (though not all registered) will be displayed here. All results are also listed.
Help: a link to Hitsports.com, our host.
Alternative match reports: not the real deals, which can be viewed on scorecards. MEMBERS ONLY.
Get your member requests in. In the first instance, there will be four administrators (people who can upload material). These will be Greeno, Stevo, Mike and Steve-Rees-Evans.
If you have any suggestions for them, get in touch via e-mail or via our new Forum!
Enjoy
