League AGM. It was decided that the league should produce a website. Graham White volunteered to create
and administer the new site. Space can be gained from Hantsnet, the match secretary is willing to
co-operate with fixtures/results for the site and a quick show of hands put the site into action.

Webspace on Hantsnet has been granted. The league has 50Mb of space free of charge on hantsweb at
http://www.hants.gov.uk/altonbadminton and a forwarding e-mail alias of altonbadminton@hantsweb.org.uk.
Site creation is now under way.

WEBSITE NOW LIVE! I have been working on the site under the privacy of my own computer up to now. I
have published the site so that it can be viewed by league members before the fixtures meeting this week.
I will also demo the site at the fixtures meeting from my laptop to get some feedback on the site so far.

Individual club information has been added to the site to form the "clubs" section. This provides a face
for each club on the site and useful information for both current and interested league players. Info for
each club can easily be updated and/or personalised at the request of the club.

The League Constitution has been scanned from old copies. This has been done to add it to the site and to
form a new hard copy version as well.

League Constitution updated to reflect changes agreed in the AGM of 2001. Rule 7 in part 2 of the
constitution has changed along with references to "Mike Goddard" and "Blackdown Labels" which were changed
to "Presidents Sheild" and "Blackdown Press" respectively.

Tournament dates have been written up and posted on the site in table format. The Fixtures have been put
up using PHP to translate typed up fixture lists into web format. The initial format for both tournaments
and fixtures is very basic and will be improved with time.
|

|
Guestbook has been added for comments, suggestions and signing. The guestbook is a free run guestbook
service from http://www.theguestbook.com so ultimate responsibility for it lies with them as it is run
directly from their servers.

Fixtures were added to the site a while ago but I have now updated the fixtures page so that it can be
easily maintained and updated in future seasons. Fixtures now give the options to choose the fixtures to
be viewed by the user through their web browser.

Changed the structure of the main page and the titlebar for better viewing in lower resolutions. Added
the results section to the site now in the same format as the fixtures section (no results data yet
though). Added a link for the League Tables but still need to write PHP code for this. Major update on
every page to include meta data so that the pages and the site is easier to find via search engines.
Fixed a bug on the fixtures selection page under netscape where the instructions were not visible.

Implemented the League Tables page. This works in the same way as the fixtures and results pages where
the user can choose which league table they want to see. Tables displayed are sorted with the team with
the best position in the league appearing at the top of the table.
|
|

|
Added the first set of data to the site (note data updates will no longer appear in the change history
section after this one). Updated the front page instruction sets for the League Tables, Fixtures and
Results display pages to include more detail and better instructions on what to do.
|

Main site update preceeding the 2002-2003 season. Uploaded new data files for the fixtures for the new
season (except mens fixtures at the moment). Made some changes to the Constitution to correct some
mistakes and add the new mens doubles rules. Need to check the system will still work for the new mens
format (4 people per team) before adding these fixtures to the site.

Completely overhauled the look and feel of the site to the look you can see today. None of the functionality
has changed (except the removel of the non-used Guestbook feature). The Laws/Rules page has been changed
to point to the PDF rules document for 2002 (the latest available). The Links page has been updated to remove
some old broken links and add a couple of new ones.

Updated the League Constitution to delete the premier league secretary (since there is no premier league), and
changed the mens doubles rules - both as agreed in the 2003 Annual General Meeting. I have also made an
easy-print Constitution - simply replace .php with .html in the address bar on the constitution page.

Main site update preceeding the 2003-2004 season. Uploaded all new data files for the fixtures. I have also
added a handy 'printable' utility to the fixtures, results, and tables pages that will allow easy printing of this
information.
|

Improved the look and feel of the site a little again with some nice new menus and a few stylesheet
changes to make the site more readable. Also did a small amount of work on site compatibility.
I have been through most of the pages and made sure links work, information is up-to-date,
etc. with the exception of club information and next seasons fixtures which are still to come.

I seem to have just completely re-written the entire back-end to the site. Some big changes have
been made behind the scenes which aren't entirely obvious at first. However, it has made
producing the "League Leaders" and "Latest Results" sections on the front index page very easy
and makes future maintenance a lot easier for me.
|
|

Uploaded the fixtures for the 2004/05 season. Removed the latest results and league leaders from
the index page (until we get some results in there's no point). Also, fixed a bug in the league
table display function.
|

Added badminton news to the site. This is syndicated from elsewhere but provides badminton
news from sources all over the internet. I'm still not 100% sure about the news section yet
so it's a bit experimental for now, may also be required to remove it at any time, we'll see.

Made a small change to the form that allows you to select results/fixtures/tables for a particular
leage/division/season. The links at the top of the form will now link directly to the relevant
information rather than back to the index. The menu links on the left remain in the old format so
these may still be used to reference instructions if you're not sure what to do.

Uploaded the fixtures for the 2005/06 season. Reset the web site for the coming season, no major
code additions, but updated all the various information around the site.
|
|
17 / 09 / 2005
|
Updated the news section to give it a slightly better look and feel. News section also changed to
show Badminton England news on the front page rather than world news and syndicate world, Badminton
England and BBC Badminton news in the news section using a nice little open source news feed
program. As usual, Alton Badminton cannot be responsible for this content but it should prove a
useful addition to the site.
|

10 / 09 / 2006
|
Uploaded the fixtures for the 2006/07 season. Reset the web site for the coming season, no major
code additions.
|

Updated the league constitution to reflect the recent vote to move the ladies league to the same fours format as is currently played in the mens league.
|
|
28 / 05 / 2007
|
Changed the constitution as voted in the AGM to reflect penalty points awarded for late match cards. Updated the front page to advertise coaching in Alton, and a new informational league e-mailing list.
|
|
25 / 08 / 2008
|
Uploaded the fixtures for the 2007/08 season. Reset the web site for the coming season, no major code additions.
