If you are logged in, you'll notice a new "Private Messages" option below the "You are here" feature. This option provides access to a simple messaging facility that allows registered users of the web site to send brief messages to each other. Presently these messages are not notified via email but that might come. It includes a "captcha" feature which requires you to type in a few randomly chosen letters when you create a message - this should stop anyone spamming us. User names can be listed but some are not exactly helpful. If you're using the forum and viewing a topic/thread then there is a little button that enables you to create a message to be sent to the author of the topic without having to type in or select the user's name. The new facility will be covered at the next BBSHCG meeting on 2nd Feb along with other web site features.
Bishop Burton village hall is now connected to the internet and has its own laptop thanks to the BT Community Connections scheme. It also means that visiting speakers and others can connect to the internet using their own laptops. Contact me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

River

Whispers round the roots of willows,wallows well in rocky hollows,
washes white the wide-stride weirs,
wades to waterfalls and rears
its rumbling rage into a roar
of writhing ivory before
it runs away - waves farewell with a
wink of whirlpool. Wily river.

Now we have a computer and broadband in the village hall, we have a chance to get together to help ourselves use computers and the internet more. If you're interested in joining a new self-help group, then please come to the next meeting in the committee room at the village hall at 7.30 pm on Tuesday 2nd February. Here's the link for Topics for future meetings. This group is intended both for beginners and advanced users, so everyone should feel free to come even if you don't have a computer at home. You don't have to come to every meeting.
BBSHCG ( pronounced babooshga) has its own forum on the web site where you find some tips and ask questions about computer usage problems you may have. You can get to this via the Over the Fence forum and the Groups and Societies section or use this link.
If you can't come but want to register your interest please contact Bryn Jones on 550255 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
