Wolsingham.net announces individual web-pages for organisations and businesses
01/12/03
The Wolsingham.net management committee are pleased to announce that organisations and businesses can now have their own web-page in wolsingham.net. The page will be a featured contents page on the web-site, with its own web-address, and organisations with a page can have an email address xxx@wolsingham.net.
Pages including combinations of text and pictures can either be written by third parties and submitted for inclusion, or a standard template is available which will be built by wolsingham.net using text and photographs submitted by the organisation.
The pages will also appear in the printed version of the web-site to be available around Easter 2004, and be featured in public venues throughout Wolsingham.
Annual subscriptions for a page are only £40 for organisations within the Wolsingham Parish area, and £100 for those outside. Email webmaster@wolsingham.net for further details.

‘Jolly’
start to Christmas raises almost £600!
Cards,
cakes, roast chestnuts, books, raffle prizes, tombola gifts………
All these things, and more besides, were up for grabs at the Jolly Girls
Christmas Fair, on Saturday, 13th December.
And grab them people did – by the bagful!
We
started setting up the Town Hall and the Working Men’s Club at what seemed
like the crack of dawn, especially for a Saturday morning, and by 9am, the first
stallholders were beginning to arrive. Some
were local craft producers, while some were from much further afield; some were
craft fair ‘novices’, while others were clearly old hands at selling their
wares. By 9.30am though, the two
venues were Aladdin’s caves of everything you could possibly need for
Christmas, and all we needed were crowds of shoppers to complete the scene.
Was
it the smell of roast chestnuts or the sound of the Salvation Army band which
drew the crowds to the Market Place? It
doesn’t really matter. The important thing was that people came along, both to
buy things for themselves and also to support this year’s charity, the
Women’s Refuge in Bishop Auckland.
By
1.30pm, it was time to start taking down the stalls, and by 2pm it was all over.
All we had to do then was to count the money!
Everyone was delighted at the final total of almost £600, and declared
that the event had been an overwhelming success.
We
hope to do it all again next year (although we haven’t decided on the charity
yet), so book your stall early if you have something to sell.
Heartfelt thanks go to all who gave so freely of their time or who donated goods and services towards the event. Most of all, thank you to everyone who came along on the day. We couldn’t have done it without you!
