    Fair Meeting Next Wednesday!

    Hi everyone, I’ve organised a meeting for all comers to discuss the Fair on Saturday 18th July. Next Wednesday 6th May 7.00pm in the Parish Hall. The objectives are: 1) To allocate the many responsibilities among our keen and eager bunch of volunteers to make this year’s Fair to be another huge success. 2) To get other ideas of what we can do on the day to raise more money , either for this time around or the future. 3)  To discuss the “governance” of the Fair. E.G. Should there be a more formal committee ? If yes, what should the roles be and how are they “elected” . . . or is…

    Can’t Log-In?

    A parishioner just told me they had trouble logging in. Investigated and found some ‘Authors’ (people who post) had been re-imported as ‘Subscribers’ (viewers who don’t post). I think it is fixed now so if you have a problem logging-in please let me know day.ellison@mac.com – if you don’t speak up I won’t know and cannot help. Also if you are a Parishioner and would like to post let me know. Please circulate this with friends in case we have lost anybody! I should add my apologies. It may be a software glitch but, well it’s my responsibility. So “Sorry!”

    Parish Voices!

    The blog now has its own home. It is www.northbovey.org. Please change this in the bookmarks on your browser. I have set up a redirect from the previous address on my website (where it used to live) but this will not always be there. If this puzzles you please ask anyone under 21 or me (young at heart). I have also renamed it ‘Parish Voices‘ to reflect that it is inclusive of all North Bovey parishioners and not just those in the village. It’s not as snappy but I think the principal is more important now. I think everyone will be happy with this but have your say! In making…

    Village Voices – New Home

    Village Voices will shortly have a new home. You will be able to find it at www.northbovey.org. But wait a few days while some technical voodoo takes place in cyberspace. I will set up a temporary re-direct from the current location on my website where it has been located FOC for many years. This way it will be independent of my mortality and I can use my domain with less trepidation about bringing the Village Blog down. This would probably result in a public burning which I would like to avoid. So make a note now – www. northbovey.org where you can have your say!
