Website Enhancement

Dear SRTM Members, Guest and website visitors,

Our club always grows and everything should grow with it. You can therefore find a few new features on the website. Here is quick list:

• The Home Page has been cleaned up to leave space for current information,
• Therefore, there is a new menu item at the top of the page with the section About SRTM,
• Which includes two new subsections, SRTM Map with clear information onhow to find us, SRTM Calendar with information about upcoming events at SRTM.

The officer team is trying hard to bring you always something new and educational. In that sense, this last feature is my favorite and it allows you to be kept up to date with what is happening at SRTM, giving you the opportunity to sign-up for roles and speeches while knowing how great will be the meeting in which you’ll take part. You will also be able to see the social events with clickable links which will drive you straight to the event web page.

More things to come soon, stay tuned and come and visit often.
Your devoted webmaster
