About Me
That's why this site: I think we are only just beginning to understand how to use the Web, and that it offers a real opportunity for Shepton Mallet and the villages around to grow and change, so the idea of this site is that it is something we can all create together for all our benefit.
It can be several things: a social meeting place; a free platform for us all to promote our businesses, and a way of informing one another about the rich diversity of life round here. As we do that, so it will attract more visitors from other areas to the site, who may then decide to come and visit in the flesh.
Do let your imagination run a bit! There's a lot we can do with this - but only if we do!

That’s exactly how it is here: like living in a high security gaol. Even a tenth floor flat has massive bars at the windows, and almost every house has a high, steel barred fence with sharp spikes and barred doors and windows.
If you are wealthy, you may live in a block…

It’s hard to know where to start, but we are certainly not talking Badgerline here! Most of them are twenty or thirty years old, some I suspect older; all bear proud battle scars, dents, scrapes, partial repairs, erratic welds.
Overloading is the norm, so suspensions are shot; some paw the air, others bow or tilt alarmingly to port or…

Dear Michael,
In my opinion you are absolutely right !! bang on the money....
I grew up in and around one of these "light centres"...
my parents are regular visitors to Findhorn, and still actively participate in the opening of the eyes of our fellow man..The consciousness shift, if you like.
I am very aware of your words, the meaning behind your intent..go you !!
The world needs to be educated, as you say, not with the "you must do" but rather "this is what is really happening"
People are afraid of change, we fear that which we do not understand and generally we as a race, give up our power all to easily to those that seem to know (or at least appear to know)..
Thats it really, I just wanted you to know, that just because people choose to stay silent, dosnt mean they arn't listening
Thankyou
Mike
The Somerset County Council seat for Shepton is also up fro grabs in May. Can you add who the candidates are for that as well please?
Many thanks for including Shepton Mallet People in your letter to the journal and the email. I have done a small piece following on and supporting it, and included a link (here)
I hope that soon I will have time to sit down and spend a little more time here but in the mean time, keep up the good work! Its a great site you have here, and I hope that by noticing that there are websites with content that is authentically local and relevant to them, more people use these places as a chance to air their views, get involved, and/or to engage with the good work that is happening.
Cheers!

This is a whole step up from the Google Group! Can see it could be very useful - can I feature it to our other members or would you prefer to wait a while?
cheers Matt
