What is a QR Code?

A QR Code is simply a type of 2-dimensional Barcode that can store much more than a series of numbers.  QR codes often contain data for a locator, identifier, or tracker that points to a website or application.  They can store much more information such as a Restaurant Menu or an Obituary? 

An example of a QR Code that will open a web Site. 

Note How the Logo can be placed in the Code as an identifier as to what the code is for.  (In this case open the web site. 
One simply uses a QR code reader on their phone to ‘read’ the code and open the website.
 

Two Things you need to create a QR Code to direct a reader to your club website

  1. The Logo of your club on a jpg file format
