North West Region Lion Club's Blog Page Training 12th July 2009

Have you ever wanted something to do on a rainy day?

Well this was planned, but the weather wasn't.

What a roll up, the clubs that were represented were Port Sorell, Devonport-Mersey, Forth Valley, Penguin, City of Burnie, Wynyard, Rocky Cape, and last but not least Smithton-Circular Head.

Our presenter was Lion Walter Van Praag [Wmailto:Walter@devonportlions.info,]who adminsters the City of Devonport site and Blog page.

Here was a quick and simple way for a Lions club to have a presence on the Internet. Something that can be edited in minutes, or have a posting done in a little more time. Particpants were encouraged to go home and experiment with it till they are happy with what they produce. Some found it hard to grasp what was being passed on, but with patience, they to will become proficient with its use. Others cottoned on quickly and we will see their results virtually as I type this.

May I say thank you to all those who braved the weather to travel to Burnie from as far away as Port Sorell to the east, and Smithton to the west for the morning. Also the Lions District's thanks go to the Coordinator of the Burnie Online Access Centre Sue Hodgetts, for the use of the centre out of hours for training. (It was good for the Centre statistics as well)

When I last checked to see the results of the days training I saw a 100% result which makes it all worthwhile for both the presenter, and the particpants.
