Voluntary Action Rotherham

Following on from Electroville's launch of their Social Networking Guide, a hasitly convened surgery by Paul Webster of NAVCA, after the launch was a big success. Attended by representatives from RMBC, ILS and others, the group had to be persuaded to leave or they would probably still be there. There is a blog entry here all about it. 

How much is your group currently paying?

VAR now offers web-hosting to groups in Rotherham. A one-year package is only £20 - less than two pounds a month! This includes 2Gb webspace and phone support. We will also transfer your domain name from your current provider if you want to move to us.
