If you would like to be next, please use the FORM (to the left) to send me a message or email map21@arbeer.demon.co.uk The way we teach it makes it easy to get started - promise! 11/12 April - Message from Hugh Rolo and Anne's response It seems to me that.. this DTA Y&H online website... will provide a very user friendly access point to the development trust movement and wondered therefore how easy it would be to have some of the site "open" and some closed --eg -available for members only? ( Anne's response) No problem - we will incorporate password protected pages later as this "research project to assess what DTA Y&H online might contain" proceeds There is nothing about the DTA itself in the region---tho I love the map with the location of each trust (how easy would it be to do a city map esp of Sheffield with the area covered by each trust shown?) No problem to add a more detailed diagram/map of Sheffield -or of anywhere else - all we will need is a rough map from each Trusts showing the boundaries and any other local data you would like added. If possible I would like to add a DTA page saying what we do and perhaps with a link say to a paper called Frequently Asked Questions about the DTA. Send the data by email to Anne (just click the name and an email form should appear for you to complete and send) Have the others been feeding back direct???? or will this serve as a prompt.

This Message Board belongs to all the staff of organisations belonging to the DTA in the Yorkshire and Humberside Region - UK. It has been designed to allow the transfer of information and comment between organisations so that all who work for the organisations can know what is happening across the region. It will only be useful if everyone joins in and adds their views/ ideas/ information, as well as messages seeking help with problems, looking for partner organisations for projects and about financial opportunities (ie - grants available for regeneration etc.) and sources of advice. Anyone working full or part time for a member organisation or someone who is a Board Member or involved in some way with another group linked to the DTA but outside the region is welcome to add long or short statements. However, no messages will be accepted for publication without the name of the originator and an email address. To allow for your varying work patterns this is a MESSAGE BOARD not a "Chat Room" (the latter would have meant the sort of facility which allows your comments to appear instantly on screen and an ongoing conversation to occur, but it requires a lot of time on-line so was rejected in favour of this format). The Message Board format means that all your messages are all sent to a "Webmaster" who then puts them onto the Message Board for everyone to read the next day. It is a moderated site - which means all incoming messages have been checked before they are posted to this MESSAGE BOARD. This process is designed only to ensure that messages are from Group Members - it does not mean that the factual content has been checked. The Webmaster and MAP21Ltd can take no responsibility for the content or its accuracy - or responsibility in relation to copyright issues; the latter lies entirely with the original contributor who is regarded as the author. The original author of any statement is required to ensure no libelous content is included. The Webmaster has the right to exclude any messages or parts of messages which she/he has doubts about and to refer these back to the originator for confirmation and correction. At the top of the Message Board you will find a list which summarises the content of the latest messages. CLICK THE UNDERLINED WORD TO VIEW THAT MESSAGE IN FULL. Once the Group's list of Topics has been established you will be able to click on a TOPIC TITLE at the top of the Message Board and go straight to the information that interests you. Note - this website is at present open to public view - it is not a password protected site yet.
