Update of Malta Philatelic Society on Internet

Abstract

Late in 2006 an exercise was carried out by the secretary in order to review the Society's undertakings with the aim of optimising its resources. As a result of this exercise, the MPS Committee of the time, amongst other issues, noted that the annual financial outlay being devoted to keeping the MPS web site was not a good example of getting value for money spent and the situation needed to be addressed. In fact since its launching in 2001, the tangible outcome of this initiative had only resulted in a handful of communications and one application for membership. It also transpired that to update the website on a regular basis was going to become an added financial burden on the Society, as this could not be done automatically by the MPS itself but necessitated having to make use of the services of the original web designer for every update.
