Covid Update

Dear Members,

We hope everyone is adapting to the changing way of life whilst we combat COVID-19. Firstly, we’d like to thank our members for your understanding whilst normal club operations have been paused; our volunteer committee has welcomed your support whilst we navigate through this period of uncertainty.

Like many organisations and institutions, UQ Sport has made the informed and safety-conscious decision to halt all club activities until at least June 30, to flatten the curve of coronavirus infection. As such, UQCC will continue with our “hibernation of activities” for the duration of Semester One in line with UQ Sport requirements. Whilst this may be distressful for some members, we would like to highlight the importance of following social distancing measures and being stringent with your health – only together will we get through this period.

As such, the committee will look favourably upon refund requests for semester one members, which are to be sent to the club president by email. To assist all current members, the committee will be providing a proportional fee discount for next year’s membership (to be calculated in line with the duration of the hibernation period) to the current 2020 members.

We appreciate your understanding in this uncertain time and urge all members to put their health and wellbeing as a priority in these trying times. Should you have any questions, please contact the committee.

Stay Safe,

Henry & The UQCC Committee

Website Migration to New Web Software

Hi all,

We’re in the process of moving to new website software. This means there will be broken links, web pages in need of attention, and various other issues.

We are moving from Movable Type, the original content management system, to WordPress. This is instead of updating to the current version of Movable Type. The main reason is that WordPress is supported better by our web hosting company, so we are less likely to encounter issues that break the software and consequently the site, leaving us in a technical deep end (this has happened several times)! Also, more people are familiar with it. The migration also gives us the opportunity to upgrade the look of the site and its interaction with modern devices. At the moment, the main aim is to migrate to WordPress, slowly improving content/function later.

THE OLD SITE IS HERE

If you do see any issues please log a report by filling in the form at the bottom of each page. All you really need to do is cut and paste the broken URL or the text that has errors. Drawing our attention to it should be enough for us to locate it and see the problem.
