The Henbury and Brentry Newsletter goes online!

The editorial team are pleased to announce the launch of the online version of the newsletter. It was felt that if we could create and maintain a website, it would enable us to reach a wider and more diverse audience. When considering what we needed from the site, we thought about how it could support our efforts in getting your feedback and bringing you much more information in a rich format. We have therefore chosen a blog format. For those unfamiliar with this term, it comes from 'web log', which basically means a series of entries on a web page, much like a journal. In addition to the entries (so articles from the paper newsletter) there is the facility for site visitors to comment on each entry. We're hoping that everyone who wants to say something will come to the website and give us their views.
In addition to replicating the articles from the paper, we can also add more photos, helpful information and links to local services, an up-to-date 'dates for your diary', a cross-referenced archive of past stories and downloads of the paper newsletter in electronic format. In the future, we're also going to be offering a poll on local issues.
