Hello and welcome to the
re-designed, re-vamped Martinstown News & Views...
I hope that you will find the new website both interesting and useful. It's aim is to complement the PARISH MAGAZINE and act as a more immediate vehicle for announcements, advertisements, information and entertainment. It is also an outlet for any views, poems, photos, even gripes!
I will be updating this site at least ONCE per week (probably Saturday/Sunday) and, if required, MORE!
If you have any stories, information, comments or events that you would like people to know about - please email content to: info@martinstown-news.co.uk or drop it into: The Barnhouse, 1 Cowleaze, Martinstown, Dorchester, Dorset DT2 9TD.
This website cannot grow without input from YOU so please send me your events, news, club & society information, photos, opinions & suggestions - otherwise it will remain the same week in, week out.
One of the advantages of the Web is that it is pretty much instant, so if you have forgotten to meet the deadline for the Parish Magazine or if you would like to accompany your information with a PHOTOGRAPH, this is the place to come.
...and remember, this can be seen all over the world, so if you have friends or relations abroad - this is a great way to let them know what's happening in Martinstown!
