Kingsway Villagers

I have added a facility for registered users to submit posts, which means YOU can create posts (on any subject).

The form is available via the Submit A Post page.

You must be registered and logged in to use the form or your post will not be submitted.

All  submitted posts will be held for my approval and I may edit them before adding them to the site.

You are invited to make posts about pretty-much any subject which may be of interest to residents and subscribers, but advertisements are not allowed* and controversial subjects will be carefully considered.
* Contact me for advertising enquiries… more info’ will be available shortly.

If you don’t see a suitable category just submit to “About Us” and I will create a new category to suit.

Please remember that this is a blog, not a forum, so posts should take the form of (complete) articles rather than simple questions… In order to allow a facility for general questions and comments I have created this post.

Once your post is added you can (and should) monitor for comments and answer any where possible/applicable.

Please use this facility responsibly.
Anybody making offensive posts or attempting to post advertisements will be banned from contributing (posts and comments) in the future.

(See our Terms And Conditions before posting).

I’m afraid I underestimated the severity of my cold/flu bug and it came back to haunt me again - lol.

We’ve also had a busy spell just recently, so I have yet to sort out the pictures and site publicity, but we have been working on information sources and support from some other local resources so we are proceeding… albeit a little slowly. 

I’ve been ill for a week or so now (nothing serious, my daughter picked up a cold/flu bug at school and I caught it - lol) so I’ve not yet been able to get out and take the pictures as I was intending, nor have I been able to get out and publicise the site’s existence (so here I am posting and nobody’s reading - lol).

Thanks to Google we do have a few registered members already, which prompted me to post some information about how to get involved with this site.

First of all, if you’re interested in posting comments you need to register, (it’s free and painless and all email addresses will be kept 100% confidential). Shortly after you’ve done that you’ll receive a mail notifying you of your password and will then be able to log in, change your password, fill in your “profile” and post comments. Your comments won’t show up until I’ve approved them (stops spammers from adding unrelated rubbish or offensive posts) but I check very frequently so it won’t take long.

If you’re interested in becoming an editor (allowing you to add posts to the site) you need to contact me to discuss it.

In addition, I work in the web publishing business. So if you have some spare time and you have a hobby (whether or not it’s related to Kingsway) which you’d like to write about, or if you are a keen photographer and would like to start an online gallery, contact me and we can discuss the idea of my creating and hosting a website/blog/gallery for you (which could cost you as little as nothing and could earn you some money).

I have to say I was glad to see the children go back to school, maybe now I can (finally) get some work done!

Actually it was quite a sad event for us. Our daughter Phoenix Rose started at Fieldcourt Little Owls (Pre-School) and I had really mixed feelings about it when we dropped her off for her first half-day

She loved it of course, came home with a beaming smile on her face and full of herself.

I’ve been struggling to catch up with work after the summer holidays, it’s really difficult with so many kids around the house so I had a bit of a backlog… Hence the delay getting this site up together. Ah well… things can only get easier from now on (famous last words - lol).

I’ll be getting out and about with my camera soon so if you see a stranger wandering around taking pic’s of your street don’t shoot… it’s only me

Hi and welcome to Kingsway-Villagers.co.uk, a website for residents of Kingsway Village, BY residents of Kingsway Village, Gloucestershire.

The site was launched in early August 2007.

My name is Clive Barton and I live at 35, Thatcham Avenue. I moved to Kingsway in November 2006 with my partner Angelina, our 2 children Cheyenne and Phoenix Rose, and my sons Michael, David and Richard.
I like the place and the people so much I decided to create this site.

Angelina will be known to many of you as a local Avon representative and sales leader. As Kingsway grows new sales areas are constantly appearing, so if you are interested in earning money with Avon, contact Angel’ to get started… It’s a great way to meet your new neighbours.
