What is a blog?

A blog is an ongoing diary or commentary, in this case regularly posted by our network of Club Development Officers (CDOs) who are based at various local governments across the state. The ‘CDO blogs’ are a great way to keep up to date with what’s happening in relation to clubs in your local area and state-wide.

How can the forum help me to communicate with other clubs?

A forum is an online discussion site where you can read and respond to people’s posts on a message board.

The ‘Clubs forum’ allows you to post questions on a topic and take advantage of other club people’s knowledge and expertise, and to share your own.

How can Clubs Online get more people involved with our club, and help us to find more volunteers?

The ‘Find a Club’ feature helps you search for and contact clubs in your area.

You can also browse for ‘Clubs seeking volunteers’ using the ‘Volunteers exchange’, or post your own notice under ‘Volunteers seeking clubs’.

If you want to find out more about the responsibilities of a particular volunteer role, check out the range of booklets in the ‘Clubhouse resources’ section.

How can Clubs Online help us to recognise those volunteers who contribute so much to our club?

The ‘Club legends’ feature on Clubs Online allows you to sing the praises of your club’s unsung heroes by posting their profile and photo.

We hope this feature will help to recognise those wonderful people who give up their time to make clubs work and also attract more volunteers to your club. A great way to say ‘thank you’!
