New seating arrangements

27 11 2008

There is a new look in the Sports Club’s suite with the addition of a set of chairs which have been generously donated to the club by Dumfries and Galloway College.

Following their move to the Crichton, the college left much of its equipment which it considered as surplus to requirements. And rather than throwing the equipment away, the college decided to donate it locally.

So thanks to the committee the Sports Club has benefitted as well as a number of other community groups, schools and clubs.

10,000 Hits

24 11 2008

Is this site used much? The new Dumfries Sports Club website has been online for some nine months so far and has just recorded the 10,000th hit on the site.

That is, on average, about 35 hits a day with the busiest day attracting nearly 130 page impressions and the number of visits each month have increased over time. For the stattos amongst you some more detail is provided below. However with these numbers hopefully the site is proving its worth in attracting interest and members to the club and increasing involvement within the existing club members.

The Christmas Gift for 2008

13 11 2008

Xmas Present

Try something different as a Christmas present this year. Membership vouchers for the Dumfries Sports Club are available from the club at £5 each and are redeemable against membership costs.

For example what would be better than a year long present of a junior membership from a relative? New junior members (under 18s) can get a year’s membership this Christmas for £30. That’s under 60p a week.

They can be obtained from behind the bar at the club or by writing to the Membership Secretary at Dumfries Sports Club, Nunholm Road, Dumfries, DG1 1JW with a stamp addressed envelope and a cheque payable to Dumfries Sports Club.

Welcome to the new Dumfries Sports Club website

18 02 2008

Welcome to the Sports Club’s new website.

The Club Management Committee hope that this will provide useful and interesting information on the club as a whole and on the goings-on within each of the club’s busy sections, cricket, hockey, running, squash and tennis.

One of the aims is to communicate more readily with the club membership and between the sections and to develop the identity of  the Dumfries Sports Club within the club and to visitors and new members.

Conserve your energy

16 02 2008

As many will have seen there has been a lot of maintenance work taking place at the Clubhouse this week.

The bumps and thumps in the ceiling have been the result of more insulation being installed. Work is also being undertaken to fit new radiators and a new boiler has been installed. This has meant some short-term disruption to the heating but is aimed at cutting back on the high, and still increasing, energy costs which have had to be reflected in increased subscription costs.

Hopefully members will have one eye on their subs and help to minimise energy wastage by ensuring doors and windows are closed where appropriate and by turning off equipment and lights when not required.
