2012 Club Handbook - Kembla Joggers

Information Sources
KJ Website
Everything you need to know about Kembla Joggers can
be found on our website which can be accessed at www.
kemblajoggers.org.au
Our brand new website was launched in December last year
and has many new features and a fresh, funky new look. The
home page contains links to the latest club results, race info,
photo and video galleries, juniors’ pages, clubhouse info and
the Fitness 5 Funrun. The newest features include a powerful
search engine, which allows you to search for previous club race
results using a range of different search criteria, and interactive
Google maps of most of our courses. Kembla Joggers also
now has Twitter, Facebook and YouTube accounts. From our
homepage you can follow the links to these accounts and can
also share news items and photos on your own Facebook and
Twitter pages by simply clicking on the icons next to each story
or photo.
The website is kept up to date every day so you can rest assured
that the information is recent and accurate. The latest club news
and event updates will be posted as soon as they come to hand
so make sure you visit often to keep up to date or, better still,
make our website your home page.
Email Information Service
By providing the club your email address upon joining you will
be added to our KJ information email service database. You will
receive regular news and event updates from the club, and a
few days before most club events a race reminder will be sent
out with the latest race details. It is very important that you let
the club know if your email address changes so we can keep
our database up to date. Please send updated email details to
runners@kemblajoggers.org.au You can opt out of our email
service at any time by following the ‘unsubscribe’ link at the
bottom of the email.
Facebook
Join the Kembla Joggers group page on Facebook
today! The latest updates and news are also posted
here but more importantly this is a great forum for
club members. Feel free to post your feedback, provide some
commentary on your race performances or that of other KJs, post
photos and videos, share some race tips or even list any items you
might have for sale. The Facebook page is moderated and, don’t
forget, is accessed by club members and fans of all ages.
Twitter
Staying in touch with Kembla Joggers has never
been easier by following our Twitter account. It is
the ideal way to get instant updates on all things
KJs, especially if you are out and about! If there are any
snappy or quirky news items they will be tweeted, but also,
more importantly, any late changes to race programs such as
cancellations or venue changes. It’s a very handy application
to have and one of the easiest to use. So join Twitter today
(it takes less than 2 minutes!) and add us @KemblaJoggers.
Feel free to retweet any of our posts to get the news out!
YouTube
The Kembla Joggers YouTube channel is still
under construction and more content will be
uploaded in the coming months. We have some
fantastic videos up at the moment highlighting some of
our best stars including Ryan Gregson, Sarah Carli and the
late Kerryn McCann in her spine tingling final effort in the
Melbourne Commonwealth Games marathon. Subscribe to
the Kembla Joggers channel and be sure to check back soon
for some more great KJ footage!
Illawarra Mercury
Usually KJ results are sent to the Mercury for publication in
the Sports Results columns which precede the sports pages.
There is no guarantee when the results will appear but we are
informed that they are published at the first opportunity that
space becomes available.
Annual Magazine
At the end of the winter season the club now produces a
professionally printed version of the Annual Magazine which is
mailed out to every current KJ member or family. This includes
a complete wrap-up of all awards and trophies given out at the
Annual Presentation Night, a compilation of times recorded for
every runner during the winter, up-to-date age-group records
and the usual annual reports, including Juniors, ANSW, Social,
Presidents, Fitness 5 etc. The Annual Magazine can also be
downloaded from the KJ website once available.
