Most of you know that I am heavily involved with a small charity for lorry drivers and we have a dilemma.
Our webmaster has worked voluntarily for us for over 6 years and asked to leave two years ago. We promised to look for a replacement and didn’t find one but now he has decided that fell walking is far more attractive and has left us.
We are looking for a replacement.
Firstly let me make it clear that this is completely unpaid and on a voluntary basis.
We have two websites, one with forums and one without.
The forums are maintained by myself and another Mod and Dean (webmaster) only gets involved if the software needs updates or there is a technical problem with them.
The websites need ‘stuff’ adding to them as and when it happens and when a sponsor wants a rotating banner, or other advert putting up, but this is where none of us are able to do it.
It can be done completely from the comfort of your own home, involves no travelling or meeting any of us, apart from checking in our private forum daily to check for messages you may not have anything needing doing for up to three months at a time.
On the other hand, if someone wanted to get more involved and redesign or update either/or both of the websites the Trustees would be happy for them to do so.
Dean worked full time as a lorry driver, and it did occur to me that a retired person who had a website background or the ability to do this may be more suitable, and find it something of interest whilst allowing the level of involvement to remain under their own control.
Dean is happy to stay and make the transition from one webmaster to another as easy as possible.
Without these two websites, we are doomed, and as such are desperate for a replacement.
Is there anyone who would like to help us, that has skills going rusty, and a small amount of time to spare?
If so email me at pat@fenlandtraining.co.uk please.
