How do we send
our pictures to the (Local Newspaper) to be included on the website?
The pictures and text stay on the website for one month, if you wish to keep them there longer, the charge is 50% of the first month, per month thereafter. i.e. if the first month cost £30.00, the cost for each subsequent month would be £15.00 To use this service contact our web co-ordinator on the address at the bottom of the page. Video Message
Send us a videotaped message and we will transfer it onto a special page on the website for your friends and relations to see anywhere in the world. There are still limitations to this technology due to the large amount of data required to make up a video picture. It is quite quick and simple to send a still picture over the internet, but video sequences still take a long time to 'download' unless you have a special type of internet connection like ISDN or ADSL - Don't worry what these terms mean - just think of it as a much 'thicker' telephone connection. With most 'home' computer users, it takes a few minutes to download a short video clip. If you have not looked at a video clip on your computer before, you will probably not have the required 'replay' software. This is provided free of charge from the manufacturer, via their website. In fact it downloads automatically, on request from yourself, after you try to look at a video clip. The two common types of free software for viewing video clips are Quicktime movie, or Windows Mediaplayer. Most people find downloading this rather a nuisance but once you have downloaded it once, it will then replay any video clip from that point on. Within the next few years all new computers will have the software included when you buy them so it will become more common to include video sequences in websites. Also the download time should speed up on 'home' computers. A sample video message will be shown here in due course. For more information and prices, contact our web co-ordinator on the address at the bottom of the page.
