Website Updates

Dear visitor,

As you may have noticed, the website has had very little content since Covid came along and disrupted 2019/20 badminton season and put badminton activities on the Island into the void.

In preparation for what will hopefully be a healthier 2024 for the badminton community, the next couple of months will see an effort to refresh the site and bring updated and useful information for those playing and/or interested in playing on the Island.

The core software the website operates on had been updated today as it was a couple of years out of date, but as a result the old template which controlled the overall look of the website is obsolete and has been removed. It will take some time to build a new look and some formatting in old content may now be broken.

If you have suggestions for features you would like to see on the website in future, please direct them to Jack Isaacs, who is on the IWBA committee.

The Facebook group has remained active throughout though and is currently the best place to look for the latest news and events.

A Fresh Start!

Dear Isle of Wight Badminton players and community,

We have had a disaster. The website went offline sometime ago without my knowledge and I was not aware of the problem until recently when someone mentioned they could not access the Pool Players list.

Upon investigation I have discovered the the hosting company being used for the website seems to have gone out of business. They were based in the states and I have not been able to make any progress in getting any data back.

I do have an old backup from when the website was updated but not a current one, and due to time constraints, I have decided to just install a new website on a different host to get us up and running again.

If there is any content you have that you would like back on the website, please get it to me and I will get it online. In the meantime I will see about obtaining some of the information we used to have on the site and getting it useful again.

Apologies, Mark.
