I was looking at the Ponds and Clubs list and it seemed too difficult to find a place to run my boat. This section was a great idea but it seems to need to be a bit easier for someone trying to find the information.
Just think of it this way.
I just bought a UL1 Superior boat. I want to find a bigger pond as the pond in my housing complex is kind of small. My wife is yelling at me to cut the lawn and why did I buy this stupid boat that just takes more time away from the family. In addition my daugther needs to use the one computer we have in the house to do her homework and I don't use a computer at work so I don't have much time to search for this sort of thing. Maybe I am a boater in Arizona and I just looked up the Arizona post only to find a guy asking to find the same thing I am looking for. Now I am thinking buying this boat was a bad idea and I should have bought a car instead because at least they have a car track down the street where I see guys with their girlfriends. Maybe my wife will like that better since there are other ladies there for her to socialize with.
Just a hypothetical scenario
So knowing this kind of situation can surely exist maybe if everyone can participate and list the following. This can then be pinned on the Pond/Club page as well as easily cut and pasted on the websites of all the organizations. Each district should have it on their own page but in case they don't there is nothing wrong with redundant information especially where there is a good chance that a person takes a differnt path to try to get to it. Make it as quick and easy for them to find it no matter what path they take.
List it in the way someone would search for it... like as follows. What state do I live in? Is there a pond close to my city or in my city? What's the name of the pond? Who can I contact to run there?
State:
City:
Name of Lake/Pond:
How Often: 24/7, Weekends Only? Race Weekends Only?
List Approximate Race Times (ie. February and June or Practice Pond Only)
Address
Contact:
Club:
