May 2012 (part1)
An unusual early May greeting to you all. Your webby just wants to make you aware of a new website feature - the NOTICEBOARD ( before all the usual 'whats on' and HVA minutes get published). This has come about as a result of requests made by residents/hva members who have 'notifications' that do not fit in the regular channels of communications. You can access this by clicking the green button under the jubilee banner, which has a handy new Noticeboard label. Have look and see what's there ! Bargain Xmas cards for sale in support of Treloars and a Christian Aid week request at the moment, but keep visiting for more updates.

The sun is shinning, the dafs are out, one could almost mistake the recent spell of good weather as spring, but don't say it too loudly!. A warm(er) welcome to the March roundup of Holybourne website news. The 'new' site has been running for about a month now and again, don't say it too loudly, but no problems to date! (yippee your webby shouts).
Please check out the Holybourne Baby & Toddler Group Page - some urgent news there for anyone in the area with little ones.

Feb 2012
Welcome to the new website, and a hello from your new webmaster (find out more about me here). I hope you all find the new website easy to navigate, and hopefully you'll appreciate the new look and feel of the site. There's bound to be some teething problems, so please bear with me, and if you do find any problems then do email me at webby. A big thankyou to the HVA for all their support in the new website creation, especially Dave Budd who has been a massive help in maintaining the site over the past several years, and patiently helping me migrate over to the new design. Finally, a big thanks to our advertisers, who with their donations help keep the site viable.
" Welcome villagers, and visitors, to the community website for Holybourne"
Holybourne lies to the eastern edge of the market town of Alton in the Wey valley and the rolling hills and vales of Hampshire. An hours journey through the countryside can take you to either Southampton, Winchester, Portsmouth, Guildford, Basingstoke, Reading or even London.
Although Holybourne is an expanding community, village life for many years has, and still is, centred on the church, the village shop with its Post Office, the White Hart Public House and the village hall. The area is also well served by the Local WI, the Lions and Round Table and with about 1500 residents we are still small enough to care.
