Why have a blog?

At a recent club meeting it became apparent how out of touch i was with social networking particularly blogging and other colloborative tools such as facebook and youtube.

So a leap in the dark and with the assistance of one of the club sponsors we have developed this new Chesham Rugby Club blog, and at the same time have refreshed the club website.

The whole idea of the Chesham Rugby Club blog is to provide all members with the ability to easily publish information about our great sport and make it available via the Internet.

I think Rugby in Chesham could be far more popular if people could find out where and when they could play. Being able to read match reports and show friends and family ourselves playing on video via the internet is a very exciting development and one which I am hugely enthusiastic about too!

I think that once other clubs see how simple this is to process then with a little encouragement we could find lots of examples much like this Chesham rugby blog springing up around the country.

Having a central club resource to publish all the news about our sport and inform everyone about who is doing what has been sadly lacking before and I hope this intiative will help to get Rugby up the rankings in both participants in the sport and popularity.

We need to use modern technology to run the club administration and spread the work load, and stop relying on one or two people who do everything. The Internet allows us to easily share the work out, we can all contribute from any location, what an amazing opportunity if only we accept it, think differently and change. We need to be using the Internet to show our sport and attract youngsters into the game, they all use the Internet and are familiar with what can be done... and... We have to be much smarter than other sports and rugby clubs because our resources and finances are limited.

He now have our very own Chesham Rugby blog site for all sections of the Rugby Club. The Blog has a number of really useful functions

1. It is a great place to keep the whole rugby community of Chesham bang up to date with what we are all up to.
2. It is a place where people can find out about Rugby in our area and contact us to participate.
3. It will enable us to raise finance through advertising for youth development of Rugby.
4. It will improve the communication between the committee, teams, players and supporters.
5. It is a fantastic way to publicise social events, match highlights etc

We hope all members will participate in keeping our new blog site up-to-date. We look forward to seeing facebook postings, you tube postings and highlights from the club.
