Nevertheless, it&#8217;s easy to restrict Google&#8217;s search to just our website.<\/p>\n<p>So, just type <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">site:southeastcroquet.org.uk\u00a0<\/span>followed by the text you&#8217;re searching for into any Google search box (typically the search bar in your browser), e.g. entering <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">site:southeastcroquet.org.uk bill arliss<\/span> will search for all references to Bill on this website (quite a lot!).<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s more information about refining Google searches even further <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/websearch\/answer\/2466433\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, if you still can&#8217;t find what you want you can always ask <a href=\"http:\/\/southeastcroquetfederation.org.uk\/1674644977408\/committee\">one of us<\/a> for some help.<\/p>\n<h1>Errors<\/h1>\n<p>Occasionally we, or one of our contributors, makes a mistake and something erroneous or just plain wrong gets posted to our website (links are a particular problem).<\/p>\n<p>If you spot something that you suspect might be wrong please let us know by sending an email to our <a href=\"mailto:webmaster@southeastcroquet.org.uk\">Webmaster<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h1>Data Protection and Privacy<\/h1>\n<p>This website only stores cookies on your computer, as used by our ISP, for the monitoring of traffic. We do not use these or any other information about your usage of our site for any other purpose.<\/p>\n<p>We take your privacy seriously, so we&#8217;ve written a <a href=\"http:\/\/southeastcroquetfederation.org.uk\/1674644977408\/policies\">Po<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/southeastcroquetfederation.org.uk\/1674644977408\/policies\">licy<\/a> which covers our handling of your personal data.<\/p>\n<h1>Event Reporting<\/h1>\n<p>It&#8217;s very little good writing a report about one of your events and just sending it to the Secretary. He has no way to distribute it fully. If it is of interest to others then why not have it put in on our website for all to see. The Webmaster is always quite happy to post your reports on the site but there are a few basic ground rules to be observed.<\/p>\n<p>(a) It must be submitted in electronic form. Typing from handwritten manuscript is not a task we can take on. The text can be in the body of an email (preferable) or alternatively put in a Word format document with a <strong>.doc<\/strong> suffix. If you are lucky enough to have the latest Microsoft software which saves as <strong>.docx <\/strong>please use the option to save<strong> as .doc<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t worry about doing any formatting. All of it will be lost when we put it into a web page, so doing so is a waste of your time and ours.<\/p>\n<p>(b) Pictures always make the report more interesting and we are quite happy to include any interesting pictures. However, please do not go mad with your modern many megapixel camera. The web cannot use the massive resolution that the modern camera can give, in addition download times increase significantly, and the file size they produce quite often is not accepted by email providers. Most photographic software has a facility for reducing picture size and 600 pixels wide or so is quite adequate for display purposes on the web.<\/p>\n<p>When reducing size remember to click on the maintain aspect ratio box or you may get a squashed picture. Most of the present pictures on our site are less than 100k. Picture files with the file extension <strong>.jpg<\/strong> are preferred. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Please do not embed pictures in another document. Also, always send each picture as a separate file as\u00a0an attachment. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>If you have any problems about submitting a report you can always <a href=\"http:\/\/southeastcroquetfederation.org.uk\/1674644977408\/general-html\/committee\">talk to one of us<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Send any reports to <a href=\"mailto:results@southeastcroquet.org.uk\">results@southeastcroquet.org.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Jon Diamond<br \/>\n<i>Webmaster<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Search our site If you want to search for something specific on our site we recommend that you use Google like so: site:southeastcroquet.org.uk search text If you can&#8217;t find something [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-161","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/southeastcroquetfederation.org.uk\/1674644977408\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/161","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/southeastcroquetfederation.org.uk\/1674644977408\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/southeastcroquetfederation.org.uk\/1674644977408\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/southeastcroquetfederation.org.uk\/1674644977408\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/southeastcroquetfederation.org.uk\/1674644977408\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=161"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/southeastcroquetfederation.org.uk\/1674644977408\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/161\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10988,"href":"https:\/\/southeastcroquetfederation.org.uk\/1674644977408\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/161\/revisions\/10988"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/southeastcroquetfederation.org.uk\/1674644977408\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=161"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
