We’d just like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very happy Easter holiday. Enjoy the time off but don’t eat too much chocolate!

This is an appeal for help from the Friends of Bedfordshire Society!

We are always trying to make the best of their website, to showcase the best of Bedfordshire, that is why we have added a new feature to show off some of the best views in the county. Our online photo album is free to access and will show the best views across the county.

Currently our album is empty and that is where you come in! We need images from all over the county and we would like the public to start sending us their favourite image to put in the album. All photo’s are gratefully received. Please remember that it is not just the towns, but the villages and the countryside as well. So get snapping and show us your favourite views of this beautiful county.

We have launched a new page to our website where we will be putting up free images for you to enjoy and download. Currently we have our Bedfordshire flag and several posters advertising Bedfordshire Day, which we encourage everyone to display.

If you have any ideas about how we can improve this service or new images we should add, please get in touch with us, we’d love to hear your ideas!

The Friends of Bedfordshire Society are proud to support and be a part of #BedsHour, an online gathering of like minded local businesses and individuals from the county of Bedfordshire. That is why we have added their logo to our homepage to promote this brilliant online community.

To get involved in #BedsHour all you have to do is use the tag in your tweets between 20:30 and 21:30 on Monday evenings. Search the tag as well to see what everyone else is saying, then, join in the conversation. It’s as easy as that.

For more information why not visit their website www.bedshour.co.uk. Everyone involved is very friendly, so if you are a business in the area looking to plug your services or a charity with an event to promote. Get online and start adding the hashtag.

It may seem like we have gone off the radar over the winter as we have been a bit quite since Bedfordshire Day but do not fear, we have been working behind the scenes to update and improve!

Our website has had a major overhaul and also now has a new news feature, keeping you up to date with news and events from across the county. We also now have a subscription to our news feed via email so you never need to miss a post.

Also we have expanded our social media range by adding a Google+ account to our online presence.  Find us on www.google.com/+FriendsOfBedfordshireOrgUk1.

We hope these improvements will make your experience on  our website better. If you have any ideas for us for making further improvements to our website. please get in touch.

Happy internetting!
