Welcome to the web pages for the Village of Filby, Norfolk.

This website aims to show who we are and some of what we are doing.

References may also be included for the neighbouring parishes of Thrigby and Mautby as some activities overlap and people move around.

We also have a sister site for Filby in Bloom which covers our 'in bloom' activities.

Filby in Bloom will merit regular visits in the coming year as we go forward again to represent the Anglia in Bloom region in the Britain in Bloom finals 2009.

New for 2009 are pages regarding our efforts to fund and build a new community centre on the playing field in the area currently occupied by the pavillion. Click on the appropriate tab above to see our progress.

There is still a lot of work to be done before this site is anyway near complete, in fact it will probably never be complete as we are generating material faster than I can put it up and the village continues to evolve, so you may find strange screens or links that have yet to be forged. Please visit regularly to see what has changed.

Some of the links are not yet in place and content for some of the pages is still awaited.

News and current events will be posted as they become known.

Should you prefer a larger text size than that displayed you should be able to adjust the settings on your browser without upsetting the layout too much.

Using the menus you should be able to navigate the site using just about any web browser on any operating system.

Some of the older of the pages are still being rewritten to take advantage of the leaner code, flexibility and quicker download times offered by Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). However, pages should still display reasonably, if not totally as intended, even if you are using an older browser (like Netscape 4.x which does not understand some CSS commands) or Internet Explorer 5.x for Windows (which does not always render CSS correctly).

If the page display is a real mess perhaps it is time to consider upgrading to the latest version of browser or try a newer, alternative browser. Most of the better ones are free to download and are being actively supported.

Should you experience any particular difficulty accessing any of these pages please send an email to the address below.

If you have any comments on the site or the efforts of the village please email to: webmaster@filbyvillage.org.uk

Praise is always welcome but criticism can help our continued development.

Filby Calendar 2010

Our 2010 calendar, continuing the "Filby Then & Now" theme, will be launched at the Filby Playing Field, Bank Holiday Fun Weekend at the 'Local Roots' Exhibition in the Clubroom with profits going to the new community centre fund.

There are still a few 2009 calendars available via this website.

Our Church

More about All Saints, Filby.

Church Hall

Built in the 1930s, now requires substantial refurbishment.

The future of this building is uncertain and fund raising for a new community centre, to be sited on the Playing Field, is progressing despite our application for Lottery funding being rejected.

Clubroom

This building is a bit special as it is one of the last two 'clay lump' structures in the village.

Clubs & Groups

In more detail.

If you wish to publicise your club, or organisation, and it is based in Filby or relevant to our village please email the webmaster.
