A new look to the website

 

From today the East of England Area of NAFAS website will look a little different.  All the great material remains, it's just structured slightly differently as well as a few new additions.

All the News - whether that's the Latest News, the Chairman's Chat or the Spotlight newsletter is now altogether.

Key contacts for the Area team, a link to Groups and Clubs and the National site are likewise altogether.

The Groups pages with all our five Groups' information, maps etc. remain very similar as before.

Events, whether that's National, Area and Group and Club posters are now altogether under one area of the website.

JDS&E pages
remain very similar with the addition of an Education Diary which is to be populated in due course.

A new section headed Media has been introduced to help Clubs with their communications and media; whether that's checking you have all the key information on posters, how to create QR codes, information on image copyrights and permissions, ideas to help you publicise and fund-raise for your Club, making the most of the Spotlight online magazine, links to useful video tutorials and online groups as well as ideas for communicating with Club members.  There's lots of information available to help you and your Club if you'd like to make use of it.

A 'Contact Us' form and a new Search Function has been added to the header part of each page for convenience.

The Gallery has been improved by consistent naming and formatting of Photo Albums and photos from last year's National Show have been added.

​

PDF documents can be downloaded simply by clicking on the poster/application form for local storage, printing and viewing.

​

Any comments or queries regarding the restructured website can be directed to the Website Administrators using the Contact us Page.

NAFAS East of England Area leaflet
Many members who attended the Anniversary Show at Hunstanton may have seen a new Area leaflet that's been produced giving details of our Area with a list of all our Clubs within each of our five Groups.

The leaflet has been designed for the Area to share with potential members and members of the public to provide the information they might need to find one of our Clubs.  It went down well with members of the public at the Show.

The leaflet comprises a summary of the Area, the Area's QR code to give easy access to the NAFAS-east website, the NAFAS vision, mission and values, what we do and some important contacts.  The list of the Area's Clubs can be seen once the leaflet's opened up.

Copies of this leaflet will be available at the next Area Day on Saturday 13th July at Isleham and it's suggested that the five Group chairmen take a number of copies to share amongst their clubs.  They can then share locally to help with their advertising.

If you want to see the leaflet in the meantime, a pdf copy is included in this section.  You just need a little imagination that when its printed out and folded, it makes sense :-)
