Introduction to our Site

This site for the village of Swavesey was started at the beginning of 2004. It is a joint venture between the Parish Council and the Meridian Magazine and we aim to develop the site to cover a wide range of interests.

One of the problems with many websites is that they are set up with great enthusiasm but fail on the continued maintenance required to update the pages. To hopefully overcome this, areas of the site will be allocated to different groups, who will then be responsible for loading and maintaining their own content. For example, the Parish Council, Memorial Hall, Meridian Magazine and Camera Club areas will all be maintained by separate people. There will be a small charge for hosting each area and we have written up some terms and conditions to require that the content is reasonably maintained and is legal and decent. This should ensure that the site remains current and active. We have registered the site with the Parish Council as this is a stable organization, is always here in the village, and will have the authority to appoint someone to act as webmaster.

My name is Alan Morris and I volunteered to act as Webmaster for the first year and after offering my resigination at the end of each full year I have been asked by the Parish Council and the Meridian Magazine committee to continue for a further term. I have lived in the village for over 25 years and for the last four years have been involved with the Meridian Magazine, setting out the articles and adverts and with my limited artistic abilities, doing my best to produce the front cover artwork. This website has been an interesting project and is my first attempt at web design. I have tried to keep the design simple and concentrated on the quality of the content rather than putting in lots of 'flashy' gimmicks. There is still much to do and I have obtained all of the previous 96 issues of the Swavesey Meridian Magazine and intend to archive any interesting articles on this website.

This website and the Meridian Magazine are created by voluntary unpaid effort and offers of assistance are always welcome.

Please add this website to your favorites and log on again soon to view the growing content.
