The Big Brill Camp 25-27 May 2012

April 13, 2012, 02:08:08 PM by Michael Swan

Just a quick plug for the Big Brill Camp..

For those who don't know, its a school PTA fundraising event: 2 nights of family camping at an amazing site just outside the village. Fri 25th - Sun 27th May. There will be lots to keep everyone occupied. We have a great line up of live music, various food options, full bar and campfire etc.

http://www.bigbrillcamp.com/

If you want to come (and why wouldn't you?) then I suggest you don't hang about because we have a limit on numbers. Lots of tickets already sold and the remainder will go. We wouldn't like anyone to miss out.

Broadband speeds

Today at 11:06:33 AM by Tim Andrew

I just noticed that BT are promising an increase in broadband speeds in our area. Typing my telephone number into their checker tells me BT infinity is not available here but that speeds up to 17mb will be available from 29th November 2012, currently I think it's 6mb max. I hope this is true and would be very welcome upgrade!

wind speed recording last weekend?

May 05, 2012, 06:25:24 PM by johnpowell

Does anyone have one of those home weather stations that records wind speed? We had some minor roof damage in the bad weather last weekend (April 29) and the insurance company is disputing the fact that there were high winds in this area on that day (!). It would be a great help if anyone happened to have a local wind speed recording for last weekend - thank you! John 237265.
