  • Tell us all about your model flying club. E-mail me with some idea of the sort of facilities you have, size of membership, flying rules, subscription rates, training facilities, types of model flown, social activities, special events, site availability, guest arrangements, frequency of meetings, location, or anything else you can think to mention. Pictures will also be most welcome, and if you want to send me pictures by conventional post, my address now appears on the home page. If your club has a website, let me know the address and I will pay you a virtual visit!

 

St John's R/C Flyers of  Newfoundland have nicely solved the problem of their unusually large picture gallery on their club website. 

When we visited the club on ModelFlight #14, they had a gallery page which displayed no less than 54 thumbnail images of members' models which, to be honest, took rather a long time to download (depending on your connection, of course) and could prove just a bit tedious in clicking back and forth between the thumbnail and the larger version of the piccies.

Now their webmaster (what a nice term that is!), Steve, has re-designed the page so that initially you are presented with a simple list of six photo-albums covering the club's five major annual events and one for the previous year's archive:

On selecting a particular album, up comes a smaller collection of thumbnails from which you can select a single image to view in a larger format as usual:

gander thumbnails.jpg (37597 bytes) 

In addition, there is an option to skip the thumbnails if you have a fast connection and you then go straight to a page on which you can scroll to all the images in that album at their larger size:

By the way, one of the albums covers a float event which is particularly interesting for those of us who rarely, if ever, see this type of model, and there are a few helicopters about.
