Good point regarding members who are still at school, what would be
just as helpful is input from teachers / technicians, as that way we can
get a overall picture, we also need to decide on primary / secondary
schools, as each have different needs and our approach must balance the
needs of everyone.
As said booking the rugby club for 1/2 term or any time is not really a
problem, It would be nice to be able to chat to some of the schools we
want to help so they can get to know us, in a less formal environment,
and discuss their needs, and more importantly financial constraints,
it's no good offering a web server package, to somewhere that has it's
site hosted elsewhere, equally, no point offering a package at a cost
of £500 when the budget does not stretch that far.
As I coach at the rugby club I know quite a few children who go to local
schools, more importantly I know the parents, I can find out who to
write to etc. That way we can contact the head of IT or technicians
directly.
