Would you be interested in taking over the running of this website? It takes just a couple of hours a week, if that. No previous IT knowledge is required: this is the first website I've maintained and I can do it! Basically, all it takes is for someone to update it each time someone sends information through and pay the site bills. The money is generated through advertising and grants. You get to have an unlimited number of email addresses "your name"@northnibley.com , can set up sub-sites free (the domain name must end @northnibley.com) and other domains at a very low cost. It's a fun way of getting to know people and keeping up with village news and a great thing to add to a CV! If you'd lim,e more information, please email sarah@northnibley.com or matt@northnibley.com
