Website Overhaul!!
The website will shortly be getting a ‘makeover’ - easier to find your way around, and much easier to search.
Due to many people now using phones, tablets and other small-screen devices, the new layout will also adapt to whatever screen size is required as well as normal pc screens. More details later. Any other suggestions also welcome - contact form.
If you are looking for something that you think has previously been on the Trimdon Times....
Short articles of interest are moved to the ‘Local Articles’ page after a while.
Full page articles which have previously been on the website are often simply moved to the Archive section, rather than being permanently deleted.
Old advertisements, posters and suchlike are usually just deleted.
