The Village Voice pages reflect a revised remit to allow a wider coverage of village events.
The weekly "Filby News" bulletin has been published on the main Village Voice page since 20th October 2009. The most recent bulletins can be found on this page.
As the weeks pass and this page becomes unreasonably long and crowded we are moving earlier ones to the pages below. Should you wish to see something older please go to:
- Village Voice Echoes for 2009
- Village Voice Echoes for January to June 2010
- Village Voice Echoes for July to December 2010
- Village Voice Echoes for January to June 2011
- Village Voice Echoes for July to December 2011
W.I. reports will continue to be available from the Filby and District W. I. page.
There may be some duplication with activities regarding Filby in Bloom but it will still be worth checking the Filby in Bloom pages for the fullest coverage of those activities.
We are extremely keen for an opportunity to see and record your photographs covering Filby, its people, events and activities, both past and present. It is intended suitable material will, in time, become part of the Filby Collection to be housed in the proposed Community Centre.
To publicise your Filby related event please email the webmaster@filbyvillage.org.uk
