HERRINGTHORPE COMMUNITY PORTAL

Welcome to Herringthorpe!

WELCOME to the HERRINGTHORPE website: the community information page sponsored by Herringthorpe United Reformed Church (HURC) in association with 2day Microportals Ltd.

Here at HURC, our first purpose always, is, to serve God, and to be at the centre of serving the needs of our local community in every possible way.

We have been doing so now for 50 years and hope to continue long into the future by building upon our traditions whilst always being ready to embrace the best of new technologies to keep us and YOU informed.

To get the best out of this service, please make the HERRINGTHORPE site your default homepage by clicking upon the 'MAKE THIS YOUR HOMEPAGE' icon, giving you an immediate access point into a world of local and global information at the click of a mouse!

You can use the HERRINGTHORPE site as is, based upon the HURC postcode, OR, you can enter your own postcode in the top left box then click the arrow to achieve 3-click access to information important to your personal and working life including live data on transport, what's on, eating out, accommodation, shopping, sport, TV, religion, weather, health, education and history.

Enter a new postcode for anywhere in the UK and all the local links will automatically relocate - very useful for when you go travelling or on holiday - try it!

QUICK TIP - Use the LOCAL site search box when you need to find the telephone number of a local service provider or tradesman, or the best free virus checker or train times, etc. Just enter the key word(s) into the search box and click LOCAL.

5 to 10 TIMES QUICKER THAN MOST OTHER SEARCHES.

It is so much quicker than Google because the HERRINGTHORPE site already knows where you are and what you are likely to be interested in.

Note also that you can go straight to the websites of our BUSINESS CARD advertisers and other special links by simply clicking on their card icon.

Although provided by and maintained by the HURC team, we want the HERRINGTHORPE website to reflect fully the life of the local community, providing a source of current information about your local schools, other churches and local 'not for profit' organisations - their events and activities - a sort of on-line local newsletter bringing our community together.

So, if you are a Herringthorpe based organisation or community service, perhaps a local historian, poet or writer of humerous stories then we would like to hear from you. We cannot guarantee to publish everything but we will do our best.

Please send copy, graphics and photographs for publication and/or details of your activities/events to office@hurc.co.uk OR address to the HURC Webmaster, Church Office, Wickersley Road, Rotherham S60 4JN
