When I became President of the Rotary Club of Hucknall I
wanted to make the most of the opportunities offered me to promote the
wonderful variety within Rotary. Writing a blog and utilising social media has
enabled me to do this. It has also
allowed me to develop local media links which have been useful in communicating
and sharing local stories of interest.
This blog, our facebook page, twitter feed and web site are
all linked together in order to communicate our purpose effectively. This has proved to be such a success that I
have been asked by the Rotary District team to encourage other Rotary clubs to
use social media.
The contacts that we have also established with the local
media led to an invitation, along with other bloggers and community groups, to
the offices of Nottingham Post.
I parked in Broadmarsh Car Park, going straight to the open
roof level and took advantage of the photographic landscape before me.
In the meeting room of The Post were several other people I
knew and we were presented with the new social networking capacities of their
website.
Nottingham Post are re-launching their website as I write
and are hoping for greater interaction from individuals and local groups. This will provide one the opportunity of
sharing their news, commenting on topics of interest, entering into debate with
other users. Hopefully it will also lead to an increase in website traffic as
the Nottingham Post readership may also wish to visit the blog or website of
the ‘poster.’
