Village Directory

November 23, 2009

Work has started on designing the first Shotley Bridge Directory, providing information on community facilities, clubs and groups in the village and at Snods Edge.  A grant application has been made and this, together with advertisements from local businesses, should pay for 10,000 copies to be printed in time for distribution at the Victorian Christmas Weekend.

Residents will also receive a copy through their letterboxes, which will be delivered by volunteers.  The funding will also cover an updated reprint in December next year.

The publication will also include information about the history of the village and the Village Trust.

Village Trust enters the world of blogging

November 15, 2009

This is an historic day as Shotley Bridge Village Trust has gone digital with a website on the internet.

This, our first post, will be one of many to inform members and other interested parties of the activities of the Trust. It may take a while to get the hang of all the technical aspects, though.

The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of this blog and we would welcome feedback.

We aim to post a blog once a week, on average.
