<strong>Sheepwash</strong> Sandwich Board on Facebook<br />
Since launching our village page on Facebook, the group has so far<br />
attracted 57 members from <strong>Sheepwash</strong> and a few members from<br />
the surrounding villages of Black Torrington and Shebbear.<br />
The page has already proven useful. We have shared news about<br />
the state of the river and the recent black ice, which was very handy<br />
for travellers over the Christmas period and those having to drive in<br />
the early mornings. Members have also posted up-to-the-minute<br />
news on road conditions between <strong>Sheepwash</strong>, Okehampton,<br />
Holsworthy, and beyond.<br />
News of lost sheep, Blake House Surgery hours, requests and offers of help, business promotions, general<br />
information, and even some lost Christmas presents have all been posted on the Board.<br />
Village hall events and the monthly pub quiz have all received their deserved space, and other news of local<br />
events and information is very much encouraged.<br />
Please do join in - the Sandwich Board is a useful tool to have and it will only get better as it grows.<br />
If you are already on Facebook and would like to join the group, please find the page and send your<br />
request.<br />
If you are not on Facebook, but would like to join the group, or if you are unsure how to start, please get in<br />
touch with one of the <strong>Chronicle</strong> editors and we’ll be happy to point you in the right direction - there are<br />
plenty of folk to help!<br />
