Surlingham.org has just reached 100 followers! (Those signed up to receive email news.)  And the number is increasing steadily every month. Also, the web site gets between 50 and 250 visits a day.

A village web site is an easy and efficient way of getting information to those who might be interested, and has the potential to encourage and support local activities.

So, please do encourage friends to ‘follow’ and keep those who don’t have access to the internet as informed as you can.  You can use Contact Us for feedback or to send us an item to publish.  Surlingham.org is set up so that contributions come from throughout the community, as a number of organisations make their own posts directly onto the site.  If you would like to do this (on behalf of a local organisation), just use Contact Us.

Thanks for the support.  Paul and Louise Swift.
