HAPPY NEW YEAR


The Seasons Greetings to all our readers and contributors. This is the third year that the web site has been online and this year we reached and passed 10,000 site hits. Many of our visitors are from far flung places such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada and America, to mention just a few. Many are ex-Glantonians who visit the web site every now and again just to see what is happening in the village. We extend our special greetings to all our international visitors.

THE SNOW SQUAD
Can we help you when the snow comes?
Let’s hope we don’t have a repeat of last year with the village snow-bound for weeks on end, but just in case it does happen again we are putting together a team of volunteers who are in a position to make life easier for all.
Would you like your path swept? If you found it tricky getting to the road then we will organise a team who could include your path in the snow clearing plans – we hope to keep most pavements swept so that at least people can get to the shop or the pub, and we can include your path if you let us know that you would like us to do so.
Would you like someone to do a bit of shopping if necessary or give you a lift in a four wheel drive to the shops?  Lots of people found that their cars were not adequate to get them out of the village last time, and so we will have a team of people who will be out and about in their intrepid 4WD vehicles and would happily lend a hand if you are running short of supplies.
Would you like someone to pop in and see you occasionally?  Just for a chat to prevent you going stir crazy when you can’t get out.
If any of these appeal to you or if there is anything else you would like us to think about doing if the village is snowed in again then please contact any of the snow squad listed below.
