I have been doing some looking at other village websites for our MORE LINKS page, and wanted to share some local links. There are several very good sites for neighbouring villages, that are also interesting because of their ‘What’s on’ pages. Look out for events that you might want to travel to. Perhaps the most extensive sites are Bonsall and Winster, which have both been going for several years and cover most aspects of village life. It is also worth looking at the Birchover, Brassington, Elton and Youlgrave sites. (We especially recommend the Elton site, because they have a link back to our site.)
Although PARWICH.ORG is not yet the most comprehensive, it is perhaps the most active in terms of community participation and certainly the most interactive (mainly due to the Blogging approach we have taken). If you come across any other Peak District community sites do let us know about them. Also if you are interested in looking at village sites elsewhere in the country it is worth going to the A to Z directory at Villages On-Line, which has a large number of links.
PARWICH.ORG 
The following email was sent to PARWICH.ORG:
Thanks so much for the email.
I had spotted your site a couple of days ago (Google Alerts had picked up one of your items for me) but hadn’t got round to adding a link. I have fixed that now.
The Winster site is looking very dated now – the austere appearance was just about arguable in the days when many users were on dial-up, but there is a clear need for a makeover, when I can find the time. I am particularly keen to try and emulate your success in having a wide range of contributors.
Do keep in touch. One day I would love to try and pull together village sites in the area to adopt a common xml schema (our own, or a public one if there is anything suitable) to allow us to swap diary events. Too often I hear of something interesting in another village AFTER the event – I would love to be able to offer a combined “Dales Villages Events Diary”.
Best Wishes
