The Parish Website

a4mTM

Steam Train at Dean StationThis Website will illustrate the Parish way of life and bring together some of the resources that exist on the Internet for enhancing the Web Surfing experience. The essence of the World Wide Web is in the ease with which it is possible to navigate between Websites by the use of 'hyperlinks'.
Accepted Internet convention means that underlined text on a web page should link the visitor to the source of additional information. This Website is first being published during the first week of the new Millennium (2000) by Richard Parsons who has been the Clerk to the West Dean Parish Council since 1991. Please communicate suggestions to
richard@theparish.net on how this Website might be developed into the future.

King George's HallThe Community Web Initiative came about as the result of a 'computer awareness' day organised in King George's Hall, West Dean on 10th February 2000. A semi-retired Church of England Canon living in the Village suggested that there were probably many other local people who could benefit from the opportunity of getting to grips with computers.
Canon John Sharpe agreed to act as Chairman of the group and a draft constitution was prepared. During the first year a total of eighteen meetings were held in West Dean and over 100 individuals attended at least once.
The first Annual General meeting was held on 22nd February 2001 and the
minutes of that meeting are published here.

Online Computer set-up The plan evolving for 2001 is to organise visits to Village Halls in neighbouring Parishes. The objective is to stimulate people's curiosity such that they develop an interest in learning more about the benefits of using the Internet. The first visit was to Winterslow Village Hall on Thursday, 26th April and the last in the current series was to the new Dinton Village Hall in Bratch Lane on Thursday, 28th June. A short report of each meeting is available by using the hyperlinks listed below.
