How do I get a Wrea Green eMail address?
Firstly must already have an existing email account (i.e. with AOL, BT Internet, Talk21 etc). Then provide us with the information requested by completing the following form. Your new village email address will be in the form of ...[your.name]@wreagreen.org.
It's as simple and as user friendly as that. However please note that we can only allocated one email address per person. Also we are not able to host your email on the village site so it is purely as redirection function

How do I set up my real email account to show the my village name in the 'Sent' field?
Contact your email service provider and they will talk you through the process. Not all email systems run the same way and so we can't explain all the options here.

How can I be of assistance in running the site?
Help is always required particularly as the site grows. Please see how you can help and contact the Editor for details

How do I get information Published on the site?
Anyone on the village can ask to have information added to the site provided it is fair, decent and does not contravene UK laws.
News, Events, Business Listings, Small Ads and Job Vacancies can be added through on-line forms under the appropriate section on the website. These are automatically forwarded to the Editor. If the information you wish to add does not fall into any of these groups then please either contact the organisation representatives or the Editor directly.
