Twitter/Score Updates Training Session
This Wednesday evening at 8.30pm we will hold a practical information/training session in Nowlan Park to help clubs who may need assistance on using smartphones to update scores from club games. Most clubs now have some individual who performs this function and an incredible service is provided, especially for people who are overseas. The session is aimed primarily at clubs who are not providing the service at the moment but it can also be used to train a second person in the club. The only ask on the night is that the person attending has access to the Club twitter account. With the championship starting next weekend it is hoped that all clubs will be up and running by then.
