What if you don't have internet access? - top
Viewing
A paper copy of the website will be kept at The Village Stores. This
will not include the parish magazine which is for sale in The Stores
as well. A digital copy is being lodged with the History Society as
a record for the future of Blagdon today. It should be possible to
arrange to view it with the Society.
Providing information
In the packs there are various types of forms which can be filled
and left for collection in the envelope provided. If you can fill
in the forms online please do, as my typing is very slow and handwriting
is not always easy to read. Not having internet access should not
be a problem or an excluding factor.
Is this really free? - top
Yes - there is no cost to include a group, business, event or other information on the website. The major limitation is the time I have available to spend on it.
What do you get out of this? - top
If this helps business, clubs and services, then hopefully Blagdon will remain a thriving community and not become a dormitory village.
Will this effect the Parish Magazine? - top
The website is another way of giving people access to existing information. This will act as an extension to the Parish Magazine. Usually people use whatever is to hand and the website will not replace the current sources of news.
Why haven't you included a club/business I use? - top
I've tried to contact the clubs/businesses that I know of and that time allows. I have undoubtedly missed many small businesses and organisations. If you know of something that you think should be included either send me some contact details or preferably tell them about the website and get them to fill out a form (online or on paper).But in the end it is the club/business responsibility to request inclusion.
Why are business and clubs outside of Blagdon included? - top
Not all the facilities that we use are within Blagdon. If we support local facilities that are not immediately within Blagdon then we keep our range of options open and aren't forced to go to the nearest town or city to find what we want. There may be odd exceptions where the service is very specialised or is used frequently by the villagers.
I don't seem to fit into any of these categories what do I do?
- top
Contact me and we'll see where you best fit in.
How do I contact you? - top
You can contact me at this email address - info@blagdon.org. I will try to reply as soon as possible. If you feel it would be easier to discuss please give me a rough idea of what you want to talk about and a contact number. If you don't have internet access there is a voicemail number you can contact and leave a message (07990 618326). You could also fill in a suggestion/comment form.
How can I send you files? - top
I can usually open most file types. As well as the original file it would be helpful to have a version saved as a text file (.txt) in case I can't open the original. Image files should preferably be saved as .jpg and be no larger than 1MB in size. If you wish to send me an image which can't be sent digitally please contact me to organise its transfer.
