ABSOLUTELY DISAGREE! Websites perform many purposes ...notification of changes to events is just one part of it. Having a website up with basic club information and marketing pages is invaluable to all MJ clubs, regardless of size.
I'm afraid that some of the peope making these comments appear to have no idea about what its like to try to maintain a small business with limited resources. For myslef, I agree in part with Lou, just updating UK-Jive and providing a live feed into ones own Website makes sense. HOWEVER, most people seem to keep on banging on about the technology. As with most things in buiness, its the PROCESS that is the issue .. .how do you get from a trigger (finding out that an event has changed) through to a final action of notification.
My real-life experince has been that a MINORITYof local dancers refer to the websites. Its bad enough when you email them directly with information that they dont even bother reading ... so dont out any hope of them flocking en-masse to your website to keep a constant check!

AGREE. A cancelled event puts a real onus on the organiser to take every step to stop people travelling. We tend to rely more on our mobile hotline and information phone line though. Maybe older technology but extremly effective!
