Website Updates

kieran — Mon, 02 Apr 2007 10:41:44 +0000

All the websites are now back online. There are still a few issues to resolve and a few more features to add (see below) -- if you find other problems please let me know. There are a number of major changes, including:

New Jitsu Toronto site (http://www.jitsutoronto.com).
New menu (hopefully easier to navigate).
Updated Gallery software which adds a load of new features such as tags, easier uploading of photos, ...
New private messaging feature (kind of like e-mail but without displaying email addresses). This is available to registered members. The contact pages for users have been removed.
New "Recent Content" block.
New "Tags Cloud" block which uses text size to show the most frequently used tags.
Changed the Jitsu Site selection process. This will be a much easier "One Site" or "All Sites" selection. Still to do.

Peterborough End of Year Dinner

andy — Wed, 01 Nov 2006 23:04:46 +0000

The Trent & Peterborough YMCA Jiu Jitsu Clubs and Trent Tae Kwon Do Clubs get together at the end of every semester for a lovely meal and night of entertainment, often joined by our Chokushin friends. This year the date selected is the day after the Tae Kwon Do grading and the day of the Peterborough Jiu Jitsu grading. We are expecting quite a few people joining us from out of town that day which makes space even more limited than usual. As always, of course, there will also be awards presented and a few words spoken......
