Activity Exchange
We are currently evaluating a new web-based communication and information exchange system. This system, known as "Activity Exchange", is a communications tool designed for all AIVC clubs and is currently used by 20 clubs. Activity Exchange enables clubs to:
provide members with up-to-date lists of events (including last minute events not included in the monthly bulletin).
share events with other IVCs.
permit club members to submit entries directly to Activity Exchange. This facility will initially be managed by the Bulletin Editor but available to all members in due course.
display photographs of club events.
Security of the system is provided by means of passwords which are changed each month and only available to members with an email address registered with the Club.
Activity Exchange for our Club will run for a trial period of 6 months from 1st December and it's usefulness will then be reviewed by the Committee. The website can be found at:
http://activityexchange.com/HalifaxAndHuddersfieldIVC/
Numerous events take place each week among the 45 or so IVC Clubs around the country. As mentioned earlier in this bulletin around 20 clubs actively use Activity Exchange (www.activityexchange.com) and a detailed listing of events for these clubs can be accessed from this website.
However most clubs' lists will be "private" so that it would be necessary to phone a club contact number to obtain further information. With access to the internet available in public libraries, internet cafes or your own laptop + a Wi-Fi point, you should be able to see what's on in other IVCs, no matter where you are in the country!
