Bere Regis Village Newsletter

Welcome
to the 2008 Bere Regis Village Newsletter!
A few highlights from 2008 -
We
have upgraded the Web Hosting package for the Website, so we now have
unlimted space to store new material.
Due
to changing our Website hosting provider, this site now costs the Parish
Council 50% less than it used to 4 years ago!
We
have added 7 more Historical Village Trade Directories to our Collection.
To
show Bere Regis to even more people around the world, the village now
has its own page on social networking phenomenon facebook.
In
August we reached our 20,000th Unique Visitor!!! A
big thank you to all our readers & I hope you have got as much enjoyment
out of this site as I have. Since we started in November 2003, the site
has grown to over 700 pages with more than 909 photographs (modern &
historical) and a wealth of historical resources on the village.
There
are many things that people in the Village can do to help the environment.
The Village Green page gives some ideas. There are also some general
everyday living tips that may help make your life a little bit more
simple and successful...
In
the largest project in this Websites history we have put all the available
scanned copies of the 493 Villagers Wills from 1559 - 1853 into Galleries
within our History Section.
We
have added hundreds of Victorian Baptism, Marriage & Burial Parish
Records for the Village to our History section.
As
we remember the sacrifice of all who have fallen & those who continue
to do so in our name, let us not forget them. We added the WW1 &
WW2 Bere Regis Village War Memorial Project, that was completed by the
Village Scouts, to the Vilage History Section.
I'd
like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your interest in
the site. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
