VILLAGE NEWS

We are now receiving a large number of letters
from abroad, particularly from people who have left
the village and emigrated. Please take a look at
the letters page and the blog on the bottom of the
home page, as many ex-villagers want to make
contact with former friends and residents in the
village.
Clubs and Societies please remember that you can
publicise your events for the remainder of the year.
We can store multiple events in the calendar which
are then displayed on the right hand side of the
home page.
It’s a great way of making sure that people don’t
forget the date and time of your meetings and also
to let potential new members know about you.
If you want to contribute to the site or if you have
comments and suggestions please fill out the
feedback form (Blog) on the bottom of each page
or send us your thoughts via the Contact Form on
