communication within the village of Broadway and to external parties
with the aim of celebrating and improving village life. "Broadway" is the
parish electoral area including Broadway, Childswickham, and Wickhamford. The main activity is to produce a newsletter, maintain a directory of village groups, amenities and businesses, and maintain a calendar of events on this website. The group also acts as a point of contact for information flow. The group is open to willing volunteers who can help achieve these aims. We currently seek volunteers to distribute the newsletter to residences. |
