CRGC needs your photos!!
« on: January 05, 2012, 11:45:58 AM »
I'd like to spruce up the website!
 
I'd like to ask all members to take some nice photo's of themselves, or their friends while engaged in various activites at the CRGC.
 
Some points to keep in mind:
  • Be SAFE! Don't get in the front of firearms or bows to take photos!
  • Try to get close up and show people's smiles and with everyone looking like they are enjoying themselves.
  • Please only send photos of current (2012 or later) members. Our current membership/renewal form includes a photo release, so only include people that want to have their photo taken and are a current member. If a non-member is included in the photo, there is a photo release form on the website in the public documets section that you can use to get their permission to use their photo by the club. Please include it with your photos of anyone that is not a 2012 member.
  • Please include the name of anyone in the photo and a description of what they were doing when the photo was taken.

We need photos of the following activities (and more):
  • Pistol shooting, indoor range, outdoor range, steel plate range, action shooting, pin shooting, etc.
  • Rifle shooting, long range, short range, events, etc.
  • Muzzle loader, Black powder shooting
  • Archery, indoor and outdoor 3D target shooting, or hunting.
  • Shotgun, clays, patterning, etc.
  • Good photos may be used for various articles on the website or other CRGC documents.
You can email photos to me here or via 'webmaster @ chesterrodandgunclub . com' (remove the spaces for a proper email address).
Many of you have cell phones and smart phones that can take photos, or bring along a digital camera to your next trip to the range.
 
Thanks!
Rich

Hi there everyone - especially committee leaders!

My name is Pam Morn, my husband Chris and I joined in January.  We were at the meeting February 20'Th but had to leave around 9pm because of our babysitter situation.  It was great to be a part of the meeting and we look forward to attending more in the future!

I have offered to assist Rich with web site content.  I have honed web site content, key word search and public relation article writing skills and offer this service to both businesses and on a volunteer basis to the club.   I understand that some committee leaders could use help with writing up articles about their meets and would like to extend my services to them.

When considering writing up an event keep the thought process simple.  Answer the five "W" questions (Who, What, Where, When and Why) and you have an article!  Some other ideas:
  • What equipment was used
  • Most improved and/or best marksmen from the event
  • Advice that was shared by experts
  • Who the experts were and their qualifications
  • Who provided an extra service or who was particularly helpful at the event
  • Date and time and future plans for similar events

With so many new members there is no such thing as redundant information right now.  If you help out or have a special talent lets get it recognized!  If it is preferable I am happy to schedule phone interviews so you don't have to do any writing at all.  Send me a message and I will be in touch!
