The Burleigh Heads RSL Sub-Branch Web-site has turned out to be a huge success! In the first three months of operation in cyberspace, the site has had 85,252 hits, a total of 639 sites have had 1470 visits! The site has averaged 16 visits and 936 hits each and every day in the three months of September, October and November 2005. The site is updated each and every day by our member and Assistant Secretary/Webmaster in New York, Robert Jones.

The Visitors to the site have mainly been from Australia, but also from America, Network, Not-for-profit Organizations, New Zealand, Viet Nam, United Kingdom, Canada, Seychelles and Germany, so you can see the world is no longer such a big place!

The range of visitors to the site is spectacular, hopefully the RSL organization as a whole will benefit from the site and increase overall membership, as there are still approximately 60,000 ex-service, regular or Reserves that are eligible to join the League but, so far, have not.

The League will be celebrating it's 90th Anniversary next year. So, if we remember the Burleigh Heads RSL Sub-Branch members motto "Mates getting Mates to join", this would be a perfect time to do our bit. If you have an ex-service mate that isn't a member, take him/her along to your Sub-Branch to experience what you do and hopefully to join. If we all did that, our numbers would double over night!

One thing all current members need to remember, you are the recruiting officer for the league. Through strength of numbers, we can achieve great benefits for the serving and ex-service community, whether they be a veteran or not!

I hope all that have visited the site continue to visit and enjoy the information it contains! And don't be shy, the site belongs to all of us, so feel free to contribute if you feel that you have something worth sharing.
