STS COVID-19 Webinar Programme
Update (6 July)
STS COVID-19 Webinar Programme
To help members during this time of lock down, STS has scheduled a series of online webinars on areas of interest expressed by members through our education survey.
This Week’s Sessions
We are back this week with our session Communications Workshop: How to Positively Promote Your Club because we know target shooting clubs are doing a lot of good work but the challenge is how can you effectively communicate this? If clubs can clearly and effectively communicate this then it can help with attracting new members as well as funding through funding applications as well as sponsors that may want to align with the good work you are doing.
This workshop is designed to help club volunteers who may not have a lot of time and/or experience to explain what makes a good story and what is the best way to get it out there so we can support shooting clubs in improving their profile, as well as the profile of the sport as a whole.
The session will be delivered by the STS Communications and Marketing Director, with a vast range of experience and knowledge in the communications and PR industry to advise how to get the best out of what you have other areas you might want to consider within the limited time and money and available to clubs. Get signed up now!
Our Last Session
One of last week’s session, Getting the Best Out of Your Scatt – Deeper Dive, was recorded so if you were not able to make this session you can take the opportunity to watch or listen back to it now. This session involved videos of scatt tracers so would be best viewed as video but an audio option is also provided - playback length 1 hr 26 mins 15 secs (password: STS-Webinar5)
The session we facilitated with Scottish Disability Sport (SDS) for the Shooting Disability Inclusion Training (DIT) was hosted by a SDS and the session is not available to watch back but if there is demand we would be happy to facilitate the course again. Let us know by completing the education survey.
New Additions
We are in discussions with out partners about adding more sessions to the programme - we will update you here next week with what any new additions.
About The Sessions
The programme has been designed to include a mix of sessions to appeal to shooters of every different discipline and every standard. Some will focus on specific disciplines and some may be more high performance related but it has been designed to provide something for everyone, responding to the requests received from members.
In general, most sessions will run on a Tuesday evening to allow people at work to still get involved. For the majority, the sessions will run from 6-7pm and will be free for all members to attend. Session may over run slightly but we will endeavour to finish on time.
Initial sessions will be quite broad but where there is clear demand and interest in a topic, we will look to provide more in depth dives on a future date.
The majority of the sessions will be hosted by STS and run in an informal manner with presentations and discussions on topics of interest, with the opportunities for you to ask questions. However some, such as the course on child protection, are officially recognised courses, hosted by external partners and on completion of the course those attending will receive certification to prove they have completed the course.
We have tried to make the programme as varied as possible but are always open to suggestions. If you would like to let us know your suggestions, please complete our education survey.
