News

The church and climate change
In the light of the latest IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) report, the Church of England has called for immediate action, saying “Wake up world!” You can find more details on our St Leonard’s page.

WI AGM
The WI AGM could not take place in August so hopefully will take place at the next meeting, which is on 1st September and has a guest speaker from Aquabox.

Website change
We’ve been working on a new village website. The content is unchanged but the look and feel are different and more modern. The new website is easier to maintain, is more accessible (see our Accessibility Statement for details) and is mobile-friendly. The diary is now a separate section and works from the date when you visit it. You can move backwards and forwards and there’s a search feature. We’ve also added a search for the whole site which you can reach from the menu at the top of each page and a search box at the bottom of every page.
We’d love to have more events in our diary so please do let us know of anything you think might be suitable to include, bearing in mind it is a community website.
We’re hoping to “go live” in mid-August, so watch this space…
