BOF Website

[Tatty]

What has happened to the website. Nothing has been posted since 10th Octgober despite there being the Compass Sport Cup, one of the most important club events of the year. Anyone shed any light on the lack of news?

[andypat]

Well its hardly news that SYO and FVO won it again though is it?

[Tatty]

Not quite the point I'm making I'm sure there is other news as well

[kedge]

Has anyone actually submitted a report on the CompassSport Cup to BOF?

In my experience they are pretty good at putting up news if its sent to them, but I don't suppose they are any more clairvoyant than the rest of us.

They've not posted the fact that some new juniors have been selected for the squad, I only noticed because it was on the SOA website.

Saving money?

How about a combination of holidays and people away from the Roadshows?

If only there was some way of accessing the internet when away from the office...

[AndyC]

You and I can handle technology like that..............

The BOF Website was updated today... from the news section:

We apologise to any members wishing to contact the office. The closure is as a consequence of prior engagements and too few staff being available to man the office.

[Tatty]

How many people does it take to man an office One I would have thought!!

[Clive Coles]

Come on guys ~ BOF are reducing staffing levels,but still working their socks off charging around the country running roadshows and attending to matters of significant importance to orienteering.

If you really still need to be told who won the CSC just look to your right on this page.

Why should BOF office staff be expected to have the technology to work from home. Give'm a break

You mean the internet? Not exactly rare technology, eh?

[Clive Coles]

Reading the internet from home is one thing ~ providing secure remote access to update pages in the public domain, although common place, needs a bit more technology and control.

But I say again. Why should we expect this from our National office staff ? I know Mike 8 Laura will not have left Duxford the other evening before 10.30. Running BO is not a 9-5 job.

Exactly Clive - its hard enough to get this in place working for a blue chip company sometimes let alone a small poorly funded sports orgaising body. Give the BOF guys a break - they are pretty busy with this tour just now!
