New Horsham Website

[iang]

Well done Clive. A considerable amount of time and effort has been put in, hope you can sort out the problems but know it will now be easier for you to update all the pages.

At last ! The website is looking somewhere near presentable.

I know my way around the website design tool pretty well now, and have established that any problems I (still) have with images are browser-orientated (= Firefox behaviour).

Would still like to be able to add some images of bar billiards tables to the welcome page but at least I can now get the fixture list to display.

Genius !

Quite a bit of work done on revamping the 'About Us' page:

docs.google.com/document/d/1BEZP7U1kc6vcuSTLacs-SSjCd5QtXf1_MD6aaxpQi5E/pub

Has been interesting researching exactly what happened to some of the 'lost' venues - any added information anyone can come up with on the more obscure of these will be gratefully accepted.

Have jazzed up the Charity Cup page a bit:

(Handicaps now shown beneath the guidelines, and scorecards shown via a link)

League page updated to show the latest on Charity Cup, also on Comps Page the draw for Singles and Doubles competitions.

Laptop going into mothballs for the next couple of weeks !

Quote (note added to front page of Horsham website):

Due to an ongoing dispute over an extortionate hike in fees, this website may become dormant until a new host/service provider can be found.
Background updates will continue but functions such as menus may not work. Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible. - Clive T.

This is a big shame & must be very annoying for you having got over all the other problems you had. Hope you find a solution soon. 

Well hopefully it won't come to that.

Basically I have been fined £50 for making my quarterly payments to BT by cheque rather than by Direct Debit: I refuse to succomb to bullying and have complained to their Managing Director.

I plan to migrate all three sites across to Wix.com if I don't get any joy. Meanwhile I am backing up all my files in case the worst happens.

Yes, it's finally happened. I refused to give in to the extortion and BT have waved the big stick, not only removing my updating facilities but have completely withdrawn the domain www.horshambarbilliards.co.uk.

A contingency plan has been in operation since 17/8/18 - in effect putting everything onto Google Sheets - and I have tested it out with my fellow web administrator Ian.
So if you get the following message appearing "Not Authorized to View This Page [CFN #0004]"
use the following portal instead:
docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vT0HDRpury9zIvqZk20it7JMXgvy0P5YBIXVhau1uPDME_APobOFxJFOJJZNRCvdjCSGpkFdqzFqevQ/pub

You should be able to browse as per usual using the new-look menu, and clicking on 'BACK' to return. (We agree it's not ideal as if you choose to surf it results in many tabs being open).

When the dust has settled I'll link it all up to a new domain, but it the meantime if you find any problems please let me know.

* Please note: A successful migration has been completed following BT’s removal of the original website: The temporary loss of our presence on the world wide web will be rectified once I have had the chance to register a new domain, thus making access easier. - Clive T. *

Have gone for a .com

No need now to put the long string in your browser, this is much easier:

Have done a slight revamp to the Fixtures/Rules page of the website, to allow inclusion of the minutes of the 2020 AGM.

Horsham Interleague records have now been brought up-to-date, with the inclusion of two ten-year lists (2000-2010 and 2011-2020). For a quick view, click below:

Slight change to the "About Us" page.
A link is now given (by the Map logo) to the new file showing all known tables in the UK.
And once in, the link to the corresponding AEBBA map can be found in the top left hand corner.

Have spruced it up a bit, more pics added and now a separate page for Finals Nights.

Quiite a bit of work recently on this page (U22, U23 competitions of the early 1990s):

[tommo III]

Have added a new Page 34a within the Hall of Fame showing a year-by-year summary, with pics added alongside whoever's year it was !

Still another dozen mugshots to be added - so Bear With !

Whilst looking through some old newspaper archives on t'Internet I stumbled upon a great find which gives
a window into Horsham League activity throughout the 1950s decade.
Check out what I have added near the foot of the "Bygone Days" webpage:

docs.google.com/document/d/1WDk4K9yFEIapMN7Gpz_QlizaMbY-1zc3c8LzHNeIDq8/pub

[tommo III]

Hall of Fame pages 34a and 34b ......... have added detail to the Best Performance awards (ie. total games won out of games played for each year's winners.)   

Similar already done for Billingshurst.   Mid Sussex to follow, but will involve quite a bit of research, so will take a little longer. 

[tommo III]

A Guernsey write-up has been added to the News page.

[tommo III]

Northants write-up added to News Page ..... mentions of CS and SC in dispatches.

[tommo III]

Have done a massive re-arrangement of the Hall of Fame and Bygone Days pages where previously the info contained within "jumped about a bit".
Should now read a lot better. "League origins" has been added to, and is now pulled together in a more logical format.

Great work Clive.
