A brief history of the Blog

 By Blog Editor Tony Lloyd

For all things Seniors, the blog is the place to look.

It was launched by the late Ken Robinson when he was Honorary Secretary back in 2006 and has since been edited by Algy Grimes and, now, by myself.

Its current version, launched by Algy in 2016, has attracted an all-time total of over 40,000 "hits" and now regularly gets around 850 views a month. 

Stats show that it is even read in the United States, Australia and Europe, but don't ask me who they are! By the way, if you are reading the blog overseas please let me know why in the comment box.

You will find reports of all our matches and competitions on the blog, usually within hours of the competition ending. As Blog Editor I am also keen to have your views on matters affecting the Senior Section should you wish to have your say. You can even leave a comment on any blog ... just keep it clean!

The original blogs by Ken Robinson provide a treasure trove of information about the senior section going back almost 20 years.

To access them simply type the following link into your web browser: https://joghonsec.blogspot.com/ 

Trust me, you won't be able to drag yourself away!

I usually put a link to the blog in the Sunday morning newsletter but the best way to keep abreast of senior section news is to keep a permanent link on the home screen of your smart phone, tablet or PC.

Simply type https://jogseniors.blogspot.com/ into your web browser and save it to your home screen. After that all you need to do is click on the home screen icon and it will take you straight there.
