There is an active email list in the village, for village residents, ex-residents and people who are interested in the village. A few village businesses are members but they keep any advertisements few in number.
Topics on the list vary from upcoming village events such as the recent Burns Night supper in the village hall (fully subscribed, great fun), announcements, general information, missing/misdelivered packages, lost/straying cats/dogs, items for sale or wanted, Advice (which Taxis run to the Airports, when does the Bus run, who can I phone for … and so on), Christmas e-cards, Pothole advice, charity runs, and so on. There are not too many messages a week, occasionally a week with none, then a flurry of emails on an interesting subject. Average 2 – 3 a week.
The list was founded by Angus Heron, a former village resident and IT expert, and is now independently run by volunteers, it’s not run by the Parish Council or any other organisation, though thanks to the Parish Council for allowing this invitation to be posted on their site.
