WINSHAM COMMUNITY NEWS



Big changes to the format of the Winsham Parish Web Site; a new approach to distributing news of parish events and items
of interest to residents of Winsham

Recently it was announced that the Winsham E- letter would be stopped, and replaced by Winsham Community News, which would be found on the Winsham Parish Web Site. This, it was hoped, would bring benefits to a wide range of residents, by making parish information more easily and more quickly available via mobile phones and other digital appliances.

Arising out of this has come the decision to improve the way in which visitors can access information, by changing the format of the Home Page of the Parish Web Site. The first stage of this work has now been completed, although some work is still needed in the editing of some of the links, and this will probably not be completed for a few weeks yet.

Meanwhile, this will have a minor roll-on effect on the Community Newsletter, which will continue as usual, However, readers should still have no difficulty in finding the information they need.

Spring

The quiet fields awake in trembling light, Soft mist unravels where the hedgerows dream; A blackbird lifts the morning on its flight, And stirs the dew to sparkle in the gleam.
Along the lanes the primrose finds her voice, A shy, pale lantern in the greening shade; The lambs in sudden leaps of reckless choice Turn every patch of meadow into play.
The orchards breathe a promise on the air, Their blossom drifting like a whispered vow; The world grows young again, divinely fair, As life breaks gently from the furrowed brow.
So Spring steps in with calm, unhurried grace, And hope walks softly in her shining trace.

Remember, if it is information on the one thousand plus years of Winsham's history that interests you, try looking on WINSHAM WEB MUSEUM-it covers many topics, and is the result of twenty five years of contributions from many Winsham residents. Click HERE.
Launched in 2002, after two years in development, it was one of the first museums anywhere to exist solely in cyberspace.
