I’m voluntary Press and PR Officer for a group of Bohemians
Clearly a much needed position, since many of you probably didn't even know that there was a Bohemia on the South Coast. Well now you do, it has its own shops, bus services, community centre / sports centre, church hall and plenty of active traders and residents. The Bohemia Area Association even has its own webspace. http://bohemiaarea.mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/ Having formally been Cabinet Councillor for Communities, Neighbourhoods and Housing, I used to feel obliged not to get involved in my own residents/traders organization. This was because I never really believed someone could properly hold the purse strings for community activity over a whole town and also champion the interests of their own area at the same time. That principal also extended to ensuring I was specifically not involved with any voluntary or community organization in Hastings for all the time I had a role deciding grants and rate relief too. Now that such dilemmas are officially over, I can start to apply all those useful skills I picked up in the past and focus them specifically on my own local area.

Welcome back John,
Glad to hear you're wading in again in Bohemia. If you're interested in plugging the newsy elements of the association at any point, e-mail me and we'll try to sort something out.
Regards,

Thanks for that John,
I'm looking forward to working on 'spin and rebuttal' from a different angle, so I will definetly be in touch very soon.
One possible idea could be using the 'Days Gone By' page to promote the History of Bohemia exhibition which the BAA are doing soon (augmenting the old pictures element with a present 'happening' at the same time)
Do you know what email address I should use to supply brief events copy to the Commmunity Noticeboard page?

John,
Not sure about the noticeboard (it's an advertising thing), but you can get events in the news section by calling (01424) 854242.
