Members SpaceAs a Rocko member, there are places on the site that you can visit and the general public cannot see. This is to give us 'somewhere to hang out' in private, and also for the club to give you something for being a member.
Equally the majority of the website is visible to anyone, and this is the face of the club, so it is geared to showing the public what we do and who we are. It tries to persuade them to join the club and become a Rocko! |
The website isn't everything of course. As a club we have a Facebook Group, which is open to members and non-members alike. There you will find discussion and banter, and members own posts about rides or events that the Rocko find interesting.
Members use FB Messenger and also WhatsApp groups to arrange informal rides amongst interested parties. And finally we have a Strava club (called unsurprisingly Rockingham Forest Wheelers) for members only where you can see how you compare to others over timed segments. |
Members PageAs a member, this should be where you normally start your viewing of the site, so you might want to bookmark it. It has a list of club rides/socials, club news feed, search, Strava and Facebook feeds, links to our kit page, calendar and other stuff.

CalendarsThis feature that should help you organise your cycling life! It shows all club events and the main events around our area by discipline, and you can select the things you want to see to give you a tailored set of events to consider joining.
If you want to get any of these calendars in ICAL format into your own calendar software (e.g. Outlook), then we will be publishing the URLs under the Calendar itself in due course.
|
We create news pages about the things we do or have done, both social and competitive events. These can be viewed either as 'blog' or 'report' type pages in the site menu or in feeds using RSS (Rich Site Summary) standard formats.
RSS feeds can be viewed using many methods on smart phones and the like. You need to get an RSS viewer (many free ones around) and tell it to link to our feed URLs. This website uses these RSS feeds in the ticker-tape (above) and news summary blocks (below). |
