Belated Happy New Year!

We may be late but we have been busy. Since our last update quite a bit has changed, we’ve attended the FUSS Christmas Fayre, added a swathe of new content to the website and plans for this year’s Hither Green Week have been drawn together. Here’s some of what we’ve been doing.

Galleries

We’ve added four galleries to the site with plans for more. If you’d like to take a look at our community garden, see what happened during the early days of the embankment project or what happened at last year’s Hither Green Week then there’s a gallery for you.

Information

We’ve also added more information about the association itself. There are links to our constitution and last annual report under the ‘About’ section in the main menu. We’ve also uploaded the committee biographies contributed by our committee members at the last open meeting.

More on the way

We’ve fleshed out the menu, adding space for information about this year’s Hither Green Week and our community Resources section. We’ll be working on these over the coming days and weeks.

Nope, not the huge blue ones, but rather the small picture type things that sit next to posts, comments and forum entries. We’ve now made it possible for you to upload a small picture of yourself or a moniker to make it just that little bit easier to see who you are communicating with.

We’re going to be busy behind the scenes over the next few days, in fact some things have changed already. Not least among them is our new contact form.

No matter where you are in the HGCA site there’ll always be a small grey button on the right hand of your screen. One click and a form opens and you can email us right from the page.

We’ll keep you posted on our progress as we update the site over the weeks to come but if you have any suggestions as to how we could better serve the community in Hither Green then why not let us know, you could try out our new button while you’re at it!

If you provide a service or are engaged with the community in and around Hither Green then perhaps our noticeboard is for you. After all, if the only thing missing from our noticeboard is your notice why not drop us an email and we’ll see what we can do about getting it put up for you.
