Well clan, I had the faith that it was only a matter of time before we started to make some movements in the right direction. This site for the Lodge School Alumni is not just a welcomed sight, it surpasses expectation.
Much thanks must be heaped upon Glyne for his initiative. This site has the potential to pull all the parts of Lodge School together; past, present and even future. Already it has proved to be a good virtual liming spot. It has many features and there is a space here for everyone; young and old(er).
One great feature is the links to Facebook Lodge School groups. It means that from one site we can get to see all the activities and neworks between the different year groups. Hopefully, we can produce a Lodge School year e-book or e-magazine, featuring the school and its activities.
I am sure that the Principal of the school may find this a useful forum to keep the alumni abreast of what is happening at the school and this in turn will give us an opportunity to give back by engaging in or contributing to these activities.
The most sensational part of the site is the webcast. Already we have Michael Jules volunteering to do as much as he can with sports. It means too that next inter-school sports, we should be able to broadcast live and with the right team, could cover all the sporting activities that include Lodge School.
We certainly look forward to this site growing at a rapid rate. Already the troops are rolling in and the site is only 3 days old. Houba, the Lodge School yahoogroup was a good initiative at the time and maybe we have not yet outgrown that. It is a reliable means of communicating and maybe we should incorporate that idea into this site, especially because it has been penetrated by spammers.
My biggest concern is that we need to reach the students at the school; especially from fourth form up. Maybe we can do it right here.
