Community: June 2007 Archives

Congrats to the BBC for their extensive coverage of Glastonbury 2007, as one gets older the attraction of a wet muddy festival wanes. In contrast couch viewing of live performances becomes more acceptable. BBC 3 and BBC 4 provided viewing of several sets including Arcade Fire. Arcade Fire's performance was as usual mesmerising and inspiring.

No Cars Go

Wake Up

Some preliminary details of the Upperchurch Hill Walking Festival can be found on Upperchurch.ie
The event will take place from Friday Nov 9th - Sunday Nov 11th 2007.

The community association offices in Upperchurch have just been connected to Premier Broadband's wireless service. This may not sound like a news worthy item, but if you are familiar with the geography of Upperchurch it has to be appreciated. This access to broadband will help the association with their day to day activities and the promotion of hillwalking in the area.

Due to popular demand the local lotto results are now available on www.upperchurch.ie

I have spent the past few days reorganising www.upperchurch.ie . The site now utilises RSS news articles that are defined by category. This allows the main news page to display all articles while the various organisation display only their relevant articles. RSS allows for active bookmarks which is a powerful feature.

Subcalendars and a master calendar have also being implemented so that the calendar on the home page contains all events while the organisations pages contain only events relevant to their activity.

Hillwalking has been moved to a separate page as it is the most viewed popular aspect of the Upperchurch website.

The website will be expanded during the summer months to encompass a number of new sections and organisations.

Comments etc can be emailed to webmaster@upperchurch.ie
