Chairman's Report
================= We have chaired weekly committee meetings every Saturday evening to discuss the App development.
Secretary's Report 2023 - Jim McCafferty
======================================== I have continued to support the Studio-NI android app over the past year.
The app has been enhanced to include:
-
The ability for admin to delete posts
-
An email alert being sent out to Bruce when a new post has been added - Notifications sent to Android users when a new post has been added
During our weekly meetings, I have been analysing performance data from the Google Play Console and relating statistics to the committee. I have also played an active role prepating the application for live roll out.
Treasurer's Report ================= nothing to report
