fast internet for Castle Bytham (Added
31/08/03)
Reproduced from the Glenside News : September 2003
From the end of September a new broad band wireless system will be
in operation in the Castle Bytham area. The new Wireless Rural Broad
Band (WRBB) service called "Sunshine" will be faster than
BT's ASDL (which is not available in Castle Bytham anyway)
How much will it cost? For domestic users the lowest tariff starts
at £10 per month. This gives you Internet and email access at
any time subject to a limit in the amount of data you send and receive
in the month. There is no joining fee. You will need a special wireless
modem, which costs approximately £50.
Terrain could limit the coverage in some locations. Any gaps in coverage
will eventually be filled by installing further base station equipment.
The rate at which this happens depends on the number of users requesting
this service.

changes at the willoughby arms (Added
01/05/03)
After some four years at the helm Neil and Clare Salisbury have given
up the helm at the Willoughby
Arms in Little Bytham. At the same time they have sold their home
in the village in preparation for a move north, with their daughter
Charlotte, to the Lake District.
On their last night as landlords at the pub, Wednesday 30 April 2003,
friends, relations and customers past and present gathered at the
pub to wish them well and to give them a Willoughby send-off.
If you missed the opportunity to say 'good bye and good luck' then
all is not lost. Neil and Claire are not moving until towards the
end of June and are still to be found in the Willoughby itself for
a while, assisting the new landlord through to the popular Beer and
Music Festival at the end of May.
Do you have pictures of the evening we could include on the website?
We'd be pleased to hear from you if you do!
