The
Dome Leisure Centre in Mildenhall has kindly agreed to act as a pickup/drop off
point for the digital camera. Any team member wishing to borrow it for the
project should contact Joe (01379) 646046, who will make all the necessary
arrangements. You can then pick it up and use it for up to two weeks. It is
even easier to use than an ordinary camera as it holds up to 60 pictures and you
don't have to work out where to put the film in!
New Villages Online (again!)
Since our last email Brandon and Freckenham have started to publish
online. Freckenham has a section on Oral History. Within 'Gentle Stroll' section
words and pictures conjure up a village at the early part of last century and
their church article will have bells ringing in your ears (literally!)
TOC
added
A Table of Contents has been added to the bottom of each community's
home page. This makes it even easier to see what is on the site and also to go
straight to pages of interest. You can still use the top menu bars to go to any
of the main sections of a site or the left hand menus to do to the subsections,
visit the newsgroup or return to 22villages home.
Interested in another Records Office Trip?
Some communities have asked for us to run another Bury Records Office trip. We
are happy to arrange one if there is enough interest. Could you let us know if
you and others in your team would like another evening in the company of Sheila
Reed and her helpful team at Bury St Edmunds Records Office.
Printing Without Names
Coding within this new email newsletter format means that you can print this
newsletter (and distribute it to your colleagues) WITHOUT having to print the
100 names of people who now receive this newsletter!
A
Sound Success
Santon Downham has just published an excellent section featuring many
oral histories including reminiscences of the First World War. Cutting edge
technology has enabled us to deliver sound and pictures within seconds thanks to
streaming technology. If your computer does not have the necessary software
drivers installed the 22villages web page will automatically detect this and
provide simple instructions to enable you to enjoy the full 22villages
multimedia experience.
There
are now 197 days until the end of the
project...
The last date for submitting your community's edited, referenced
information and photographs is Saturday 30th September 2000. Our aim is to have
1,000 books (£5 each) and 1,000 cds (£3 each) available by Christmas.
Regards
