An Apology – uploaded 4th February
​
We regret that the Filby Bells Restoration website, filbybells.website, together with three other village websites have been down since late December. Our web hosts, Hostgator, reported malware in the Wordpress based sites but have been singularly unhelpful in restoring them. As a result we have bitten bullets and elected to rewrite the sites on a different host, Wix.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused, especially to those who have wished to keep up with the restoration project or check on related events.
​
If you should notice anything important that is missing from the new site, please get in touch via derek.a.n@btinternet.com.
Grant Application Update - Uploaded 2nd February
​
We regret that our initial application to the National Heritage Lottery fund was unsuccessful. We have been invited to apply, again, to the next round of applications which opened on 31st January 2024.
Visit of the Princess Royal - Uploaded 28th January
​
The intended arrival at the Playing Field of the Princess Royal, Princess Anne, at 13:15 on Thursday 25th January, by helicopter, did not happen as it was cancelled at the last minute due to low cloud preventing a landing. The small crowd, including children from the village's primary school, were disappointed at the no-show. The visit was to attend the Norfolk Schools Sailing Association sailing base on Filby Broad. It was made later in the day when the Princess arrived by road.
AGM – Uploaded 7th January
​
The group’s AGM will form part of the full committee meeting to be held on Wednesday January 31st at 2:00pm, Venue Trinity Barn.
