I’ve been looking at this site in my role as Community Worker for West Wickham, Weston Colville and West Wratting and with my other hat on (organising events in Weston Colville where I live) I see these need updating:
– Clubs and Societies, change contact from Laurence to me as it is in Community Section, where it’s correct
– Methodist Chapel has been sold for conversion to residential
– under walkers in Clubs, you could add we do c.5 miles and it’s occasional Saturdays 10am
Thank you – the directory’s been very helpful!
Thanks for the update. I have made the changes you suggested, so please check the contact details are correct as I noticed you used a different email address.
That’s an impressively quick response! Yes, I have one email for each of my two ‘hats’ and Jacquelinetheteacher I use for the things I organise in the village (as you’ll have seen in Village Voice). Thank you.
Jacqueline
Alex
As part of my role as Community Worker and following a chat with Nicky Cornish, I’ve put together a summary of local transport and Suan who I report to has suggest it might be appropriate to include on village websites. Can I send it by email so that you can consider this?
All the best
Jacqueline Douglas
Hi Jacqueline, Yes, please do.
Please could you take the rainbows and guides contact off your page and add for Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and Rangers in Linton District email girlguiding at lintondistrict@gmail.com or call Louisa on 01223 833776 We are updating all our contacts.
The contact for Pauline can stay please. if all this is possible please let me know,
Kind Regards
Louisa
Hi Louisa
I have made the changes as requested, but the email address is unclear. Please check and confirm the email address.
