To add Branch Events, you need to be an authorised editor for your Branch.
You will need to carry out the following procedure:
1. Register an account - using the feature at the very top of this web page (near the date).
2. Notify the Web Editor that you have registered and that you need to be authorised.
If you are not the designated Chairman/woman of your Branch, your Chairman/woman will need to confirm formally by email to the Web Editor that you are the nominated and authorised Branch Events Editor.
3. Once you are authorised on this website, the Web Editor will confirm this action and notify you.
Adding events is easy and a guide has been published to do this. If your Branch Chairman/woman has not kept his/her copy, please inform the Web Editor who will send you a copy.
It is important to remember that you will need to return here to this page to log in and to see and use the Add Events menu item in the User Menu which will appear to the right of this article only after you have been duly authorised.
Please note that you can only add events. Editing them or deleting them, or adding venues, etc are carried out by the Web Editor. Please contact him to make these types of changes.
Any technical problems, please contact the Web Manager (lthough they are now one and the same person since the April 2009 AGM).
Editing tips:
- You don't need a closing date if your event is on a single day
- Times should be entered using the 24hr clock in the format HH:MM (note colon)
- Avoid using unusual punctuation eg an ampersand (&) and double quotation marks ( "xyz " ) in your talk or meeting title. In fact, avoid any special characters and stick to letters, numbers, colons and hyphens. If you need to use quotation marks, use only single quotes, not double.
- If your venue is not listed, or changes - temporarily or permanently - please advise the Web Editor of the details. Please include a post code for your venue (for mapping), and if there is a website for your venue, please enclose it too.
- Please add as much detail as you can about your event in the "Description" section. Experience has shown that the more you can add, the better an audience is informed and prepared.
- If you are on a Branch away day, use the "Location Visit" venue rather than leave the venue blank to avoid confusion.
Finally, please also bear in mind that you can add events to the Front Forum, edit them, and keep them up to date. You can even have your own Branch sub-Forum there. You may attract a different section of interest by doing so and more attendees to your Events.
By the way, if you know of any good and relevant Great War web links useful for this site (non-commercial), please use the same menu to "Submit a Web Link" to the website.
