You can practise your skill at bowling on Butts Field and if you like it try bowling on our superb Bowling Green later.  Finally - may we remind you of our Fund Raising Coffee Morning to be held in the Pavilion on Saturday 30th May, from 10pm. to 12 noon.

HAVE YOUR SAY ON POLICING JOIN NOTTINGHAMSHIRE POLICE AUTHORITY'S COMMUNITY PANEL - April 2009

The Authority is seeking volunteers from across the County to join its new Community Panel, to give their opinions on a variety of policing issues.

Cllr John Clarke, Chairman of the Police Authority, says: 'It is really important the people give us their opinions so that we can take them into account.

If there are areas where the service is not as good as it might be, we want people to tell us so that we can ensure that the Force addresses the problem.

'We want to see local people influencing the delivery of policing services. They are local taxpayers, with a right to say in the way in which they and their communities are policed'.

If you would like to have your say and become a member of the panel please contact Nottinghamshire Police Authority. email: npa@nottinghamshire.pnn.police.uk, phone: 0115 977 4911 or write to: Community Panel, Nottinghamshire Police Authority, County Hall, West Bridgford, Nottinghamshire NG2 7QP.

WEB SITE & EMAIL ISSUES - February 2009

Once upon a time, the village web site appeared under the domain www.eastbridgford.net and then a little later as www.eastbridgford.com, however, about 12 months ago, after some administrative problems, it was moved to a new domain: www.eastbridgford.org. 

People may have been successfully using the old domains which had been re-routed to www.eastbridgford.org.

Back in November, problems were experienced with the eastbridgford.net domain, and now in January, the same issues have occurred with eastbridgford.com. 

Whilst we thought this was all in hand, and hoped it would be fully resolved by the end of March - some further complications have arisen and we will try to keep you updated.

Please email the WEB EDITOR: editor@eastbridgford.org for further or specific information.

Similarly, you can access the web site through www.eastbridgford.org.  If you know any other site users, please pass the message on!
