THE first thing this week is a plea. The person who runs our website, www.wellandvillage.co.uk, is about to give it up. It is a totally voluntary position, but requires some technical knowledge and time to invest, if there is anyone out there who would like to take it on, please contact him from the website. It would be a shame to lose this asset for the village.
