Club Contacts
News Digest
The club issues a News Digest every Monday evening containing details of
forthcoming events and reports on recent runs and races. The digest is sent to a
distribution list from the email address "news@barunner.org.uk"
. There are no restrictions on being on this list, membership is not a
requirement. To add an address to the list simply email a request to the
news@barunner.org.uk address. Copies
of the digest are also made available on the Website and linked from the
Facebook Page. The Website contains all of the Digests ever issued, though there
is not a search function. Additional content for the News Digest is always
welcome.
Website
The club's website address is
www.barunner.org.uk . This is a site for permanent content with information
about the club, our events, kit, locations and so on. Most of its content is
only updated infrequently. The list of events, short-cut
http://www.barunner.org.uk/Event_Diary.shtml,
should be updated every other month.
Facebook Page
The club committee maintain a Facebook Page at
https://www.facebook.com/BARunnerUK/
. This should be seen as the social media "Shop Window" for the club. It holds
information posted by the committee and visible to anyone; members and
non-members alike. As well as being used for the News Digests it will also hold
Facebook "Events" for the public events that the club organises, such as the
Speedbird Ladies Race.
Facebook Group
The club has a Facebook Group called "BA Runner" at
https://www.facebook.com/groups/636199849751546/
. This is a private group for club members and associates. The Group can be used
for general chats amongst members and for in-house events. Each key in-house
event should have a Facebook "Event" in the Facebook Group. To join the group go
to the link and request to join. Once joined members are free to create new
items, with or without pictures, and respond to those of others. Whilst standard
Facebook conditions-of-use apply, no moderation has proved necessary.
Please note that content may be copied for public publication in the digest.
Google Map
A map is maintained by the committee showing key locations
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.4675917,-0.4706997,13z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!6m1!1sz31P-sSECWno.kIIgdFzUuZAo?hl=en.
This should be available on all connected devices and, for instance, linked to
Google Navigation tools. All parkruns are shown on this map, including details
as to whether members of the club have already run that parkrun.
WhatsApp
Members of the club may use WhatsApp from time to time to manage details for
specific events such as WARR or the Green Belt Relay. There is no long-term use
of WhatsApp.
Yammer
Within BA, Yammer may be used to communicate details of forthcoming events
but since only active BA members have access to Yammer it is only used
informally.
Face to Face
Club members meet at the Bedfont Club every week and for Club In-house Events
and Socials most months. Announcements may be made at these meetings but since
most members are unable to attend such communications are not relied upon.
Club Committee
All of the club's committee members are available to answer questions. The list
of members and their email addresses is on the website at
http://www.barunner.org.uk/Club_Committee.shtml
.
BA Clubs
BA Clubs communicates with all BA Clubs and active BA members through their
website (http://www.baclubs.com/),
publicity shots and Yammer input. Whilst we don't rely on BA Clubs for
communication they can provide a useful push on key events.
