I don't know if this topic has come up recently, but here goes.
We all know how lively and up-to-date the Addiscombe Forum is. However, today I mentioned to a friend that I'd put some La Marmotte photos on the internet. This was the reply that I received;

I just looked, and it is impossible to find them because the Addiscombe website is so crap!!!
Why did you waste your time posting them there? - they will never see the light of day!
Now I appreciate that he may be a bit forthright, but I respect his opinion, and believe that he's got a point.
We all know not to look at the Addiscombe Website for what's currently going on, but to use this Forum instead. How would anyone new to Addiscombe know that? For example, we often get a mention in the Comic, so Jo(e) Bloggs will be likely to type "Addiscombe CC" into Google and get straight to our website. There's no obvious redirection from there to this Forum. It would appear to the casual observer that we're not really an active club.
Basically, I think that Addiscombe members are served very well by this Forum, but I don't believe that prospective members are looked after nearly so well by the Club Website.Are we missing an opportunity of spreading the Agreeable message here?
