Parish Councillors and Clerks Events/Training - 2008

NALC is organising a further series of events/training in 2008.  The sessions will be fairly informal and involve Clerks and Councillors from around the county to share experience and good practice.

Places are limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, with a small charge of £3.00 per session being applicable.  All sessions will run from 7 - 9pm.

Contact us to have a form forwarded to you with regards to any of the events.... parishcounciltraining@ca-north.org.uk

Suggestions for other topics which you would like to see scheduled into the 2008 programme would be welcomed.  If you have any ideas, please let us know.

FREE WEB DESIGN TRAINING

The Media Trust offered 'Introduction to Web Design Training' under their Improving Reach Project in March 2008. 
This invaluable, free Website Training was offered to all village halls, community buildings and parish councils in the county. 
Amongst other things, the instructor introduced participants to free, easy to use software,
enabling them to set up their own websites.

One of the priority groups was voluntary organisations in isolated rural areas.

The training was held on Thursday 6 March, from 2-5pm in the the Lindisfarne Annexe, Alnwick.
