The Bishopthorpe web site has been running for a couple of years now. It is funded by the Bishopthorpe Millennium Trust. It has separate sections, for example for Bishopthorpe affairs and news, the Millennium Trust, the Crossroads village centre scheme, transport information, and local clubs and groups.
Anyone can have information on the site. Clubs and groups can have details of their latest activities. The Local History Group for example has its own section. The web site also allows you to have a local email address (@bishopthorpe.net) that you can access anywhere on the web. It is free, and free of advertising.
The site is regularly read by local people, and also by friends and relatives outside the village. Visitors also use it to try to find out about local information.To extend the scope and usefulness of the site, local organisations are invited to send in their news and we can put this up on the site at any time. To do this just send an email to mailstuff at bishopthorpe dot net, or post a disk to Mailman, 29 Lang Road. Digital photos are always welcome. If you have a web site, let us know so we can put a link to that too.
We are also developing the Purple Pages. It has two new sections: A Business Section - if you want to advertise your business, and a Local Directory of organisations. Please drop us a line as above if you want to be included. You can download forms to fill in to get an entry:
