Site designed by
SURVEYDIGITAL
Bishops Offley today is a quiet and attractive place to live. This web site hopes to reflect that tranquil aspect, whilst at the same time, offering something new to residents of the village.
What's in it for me?
Potentially, there are some useful opportunities for residents. Firstly, everyone in the village is entitled to a free email address (subject to sensible conditions of use) which will be of the following format:
joe.bloggs@bishopsoffley.co.uk
This will enable you to communicate anywhere in the world. It will also mean that you can receive emails about events in Bishops Offley.
If you would like an email address straight away, contact the webmaster or telephone 01785 280270 and speak to Nick Evans at SurveyDigital who will set things in motion. He'll even help you set it up on your computer if you ask him nicely!
In addition, there's a SafeSearch facility for the Internet hosted on the front page of this site. Google SafeSearch protects the searcher from images and content of an inappropriate nature. Although we make no guarantees about this service, we have found it to be very fast and very effective.
I don't have a computer and never want one!
Going to be tricky are we? OK - still have an email address, but we'll collect the emails for you, print them up and pass them on to you. it might just be a good quick way of keeping in touch with remote friends and relatives. (Again, this is offered subject to reasonable limits - we're not the Royal Mail!)How can I contribute?
The site is currently under construction and therefore contains only sample information. This is where you can help. We intend to build a picture of the village’s history and we need photographs, maps, stories and any other resource that you think might be useful. It doesn’t matter how old and battered things are – we can find ways of improving them for the web.
If you would like to contribute, there are two main areas you can help with:
- History of your property – we would like to be able to show some of the older properties in the village as they were 50, 100, 150 years ago
- History of the village and surrounding areas – do you know a good story or have some good pictures that might be of interest to former and current residents and to people in other countries who request information on Bishops Offley? Schools will also make use of this resource
If you have some materials or stories, contact the webmaster (01785 280270) now for details of how you can have these presented on the web site.
