Monthly featured driver

[ballsie]

I'd like to run a feature on the website next season for a monthly featured driver. This would include a short profile, some pictures and general interview questions etc. This driver would be featured for a calendar month.

I'm proposing (subject to their agreement) to use the guys who finished in the top 5 of the Wood and Carpet championships plus 6 others.

If you are interested in being featured then please post below. If I receive more than 6 people (other than the listed) then they will be selected at random and added to the list.

The order that they appear will also be random, probably with the exception of John (with his agreement) who I'd like to appear on January as club champion.

Alan Brownlee - confirmed
Scott Meichan - confirmed
John Lindsay - confirmed
Stephen Whyte - confirmed
David McKeown - confirmed
Allan Lindsay - confirmed

Since I'm right on the edge of Uk waters at the moment I very much doubt that :-D


The weather out here has been great here last few days, if you go up the top of the centre crain you can see the coasts of both Scotland and Norway... freaky! :)

[Alex Lindsay]

Hi Alan

Is there anything i can do to help with this topic. It would be good to get it running for the start of the championship on 02/02/07.

Let me know...

Alex

[ballsie]

Yeah Alex - I've been a bit tied up lately.

Can you have a think about the questions we want to ask for the interview / profile?

Cheers.

[ballsie]

Hi Alex,

I'm gonna be setting up the template this weekend and getting the questions answered by John through the week if possible. I've got plenty pictures that I'll put into a kinda flash movie that dissolves as it changes the pic etc.

I'm not going to be there tonight so can you e-mail me any ideas etc. that you've had?

Cheers.

[ballsie]

the first member profile - john lindsay is now online. a few changes still need to be made (pictures, linking from the main website) but you'll get the idea.

open to suggestions of changing any question etc.

many thanks to Alex for his help!

[ballsie]

Hi Gordon,

I know the profiles page isn't updated - that's what I meant in my post above. I'll update this tonight when I get home from work.

You should be able to see the profile at http://www.falkirkrcc.co.uk/profiles/08-2007.php (there's a typo in my previous post).

Cheers.

[ballsie]

I'll also be sending out the question list tonight to everyone who has shown an interest. Feel free to complete this whenever - you can always let me know if you want to change anything at some point in the future.

I'd appreciate if you can supply a wee photie too. Those who are still at School, make sure you're parent's are happy enough with putting this info on the web.

Cheers.
