A Freshford wall -a masterpiece

Freshford Somerset: an IntroductionFreshford is in 2009 a village dating back a thousand years or more. Some of the property in the village is located in Wiltshire and some in Bath and North-East Somerset (known as BANES). This affects the choice of secondary school for parents, and splits up children who have grown up together in their primary school. The children should be able to continue their education together when they leave the primary school where they have grown up together. Unfortunately, this division of Freshford between Wiltshire and Somerset (B&NES) is not the result of some recent skulduggery, yet its affects extend into the 21st Century. The ghosts continue to extend their influence into the time when people are free to use their intelligence, rather than witchcraft or be bound by land divisions created by the church, or the Normans. And guess what; it is the ghosts that rule. Why can't parents choose the nearest school to where they live? Parental Choice of School Apart from the educational issues which are important to Freshford, the village is arguably the finest village in this part of the west country. This website includes many photographs that record the attractive nature not only of the village but also its beautiful setting. The parish website is: Freshford Village Although, photos maybe copied I believe that it is worthwhile to publish photos that are of a much greater resolution than would be normally seen on a website.

News:
Demise of Jazz at The Inn at FreshfordIt is with great regret that I have to report that the long standing Jazz at The Inn as now been discontinued. The present manager, without consultation with any locals that I know of, decided to switch the Jazz night to Wednesdays and further complicated the matter by only having jazz every other week. The Derek Oldroyd band consists of a double bass, drums and piano, and each week a quartet was formed by the addition of a front line musician. The fourth musician would be a different musician each week. Apart from the loss of revenue to the band by being reduced to playing once a fortnight, the disruption to the lives of the musicians, and the failure to take into account that nearly all of the regulars had built their week around there being Jazz on Thursday, the ignorant manner in which these changes were implemented by the present manager has driven nearly all regulars away. This is a great pity as surely a local pub should welcome locals. The Box Steam Brewery beer is excellent and the range of beers, lagers and ciders that The Inn serves is also excellent. The only good news is that The Derek Oldroyd band is now playing every Thursday at The Swan Hotel in Bradford on Avon and anyone who feels that they will be among strangers need not fear, as all the old Freshford regulars are now going to The Swan. (Geoff Edwards) Factory's 'gourmet' grub back on menuDINERS as far away as Freshford are flocking to a unique restaurant in the Airsprung factory at Trowbridge where you can a big eat breakfast for just £2.39 and a beef lunch for as little as £3.49. Nick and Brónagh Day have taken over the former subsidised canteen which shut earlier this year amid a storm of protest. It had gained a wide reputation for food of almost gourmet quality at a time when the recession was beginning to bite. The five-strong staff of the new look Food Factory were determined to uphold that fine tradition – and they are!Freshford's new shop – in picturesI have completed my portfolio of photos of our new Galleries community shop and post office. There are about 170 pictures spread over six pages. But these are only a selection from the film of the development of the shop. It will be some time before the video is completed, however, because the footage still has to be edited! Any trademan who worked on the site which is a project managed by John Biggs is welcome to copies of the photos - at their full resolution - 10MB. I used a Canon SX10IS. This camera has a 28-560mm lens (35mm equivalent) with its image stabilisation and video capability and cost of less than £300, it represents remarkable value. For another £100 the Canon SX1IS has High Definition video, too! Geoff Edwards

ClickOrlando.com Spam website?What is the worst spam website? In my opinion ClickOrlando. This website sends me email several times a day, day after *****day. There is a link to unsubscribe but I never subscribed to this new site anyway. To unsubscribe they want all sorts of information that I have no intention of supplying, especially since I have not subscribed to this service. I have no interest in Florida or in its news service. Why should I? I live in England. Fortunately, Outlook traps the email and puts it in my Junk Email folder. The reason that this "service" exists is to bring in revenue from advertisers. As a matter of policy, I do not buy goods or services from any unsolicited email I receive. Apparently, others do, that's why we have spam. "Designed for people who want it all I think that Microsoft has slipped up here. Surely one can't view TV without a license in the UK?

Freshford Village ForumTraditionally, democratic decisions are made after consultation with residents by means of meetings and questionnaires. The Internet now provides a means for residents and others to discuss ideas and comment on proposals in the comfort of their own homes and at a time that suites them. Freshfordvillage website provides a forum for residents to contribute news and comments. Introduction to Internet ForumsAn Internet forum is a web application for holding discussions and posting user generated content. Internet forums are also commonly referred to as web forums, message boards, discussion boards, (electronic) discussion groups, discussion forums, bulletin boards, fora (the Latin plural) or simply forums. The terms "forum" and "board" may refer to the entire community or to a specific sub-forum dealing with a distinct topic. Messages within these sub-forums are then displayed either in chronological order or as threaded discussions. Such forums perform a function similar to that of Usenet newsgroups and the dial-up bulletin board systems that were numerous in the 1980s and 1990s. [1] Early web-based forums such as UBB.classic date back as far as 1996. A sense of virtual community often develops around forums that have regular users. Technology, computer games and/or video games, fashion, religion, and politics are popular areas for forum themes, but there are forums for a huge number of different topics. Internet slang and image macros popular across the internet are abundant and most widely used in internet forums. Note. The first two paragraphs above are copied from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_forum The Freshford Forum allows residents to contribute news and ideas as well as comment on that news, ideas, and comments.
