Minutes 10/2007 of Metheringham Parish Council Meeting held on Tuesday 27th February 2007 at 7.15pm in the Village Hall.
As promised in the last MACLA news magazine, the MACLA website has undergone a bit of a makeover. If you're a regular visitor then you'll notice a few differences. Don't worry though as all your old favourites are still here.
Q. I liked the old look and feel. Why the change?
A. The original plan for the MACLA website way back in 2001 was for a few pages to make the Metheringham Area community aware of activities in their area. Thanks to many contributions and suggestions from individuals and groups, the site has grown to such a size that it was in danger of becoming unmanageable. Therefore the site needed restructuring and it seemed an ideal opportunity to redesign the layout at the same time to make it more user-friendly.
