TPS Draft Proposal – Social Media and Advertising Policy – Member Comment

Members,

The TPS has recently started using Social Media sites; such as Facebook. To that end, the committee would like to develop an inclusive policy, that meets the needs of the society, the users of our Facebook presence and visitors to the same. Social Media is a gateway to how we present ourselves. Even if an adverse comment or argument or these media sites, may seem trivial, it may put off people wanting to become involved with us. This is why your committee has worked toward this policy’s implementation.

If you’re coming along to tonight’s meeting or the next competition night, there will be hard copies of a draft proposal TPS Social Media Policy, to which we would welcome comments. Alternately, click the link in the last sentence to read it.

Once this process is complete, it will become part of the rules we will all follow.

Comments to the Secretary’s email: tpssec@hotmail.com.au

Thank you.

Raffles start on Tuesday night – $2 per square

Starting next Aggregate Competition Night (13 March), door raffles will resume…with a difference.

We will now run them over a month, or until the 100-only spaces sellout, on our ‘100-club’ board. We will draw the winner out on the following competition night. Each space will cost $2. You will be invited to write your name and phone number into the unused square of your choosing.

The prize will be better value, photographic in nature and useful to most people.

Our first raffle will be for a Vanguard travel monopod. These are great, giving you an extra stop, or two, with the stability provided.

These raffles will greatly assist our Society’s fundraising needs.

 

Please bring $2 coins with you!
