Sibford’s Millennium Pageant on the Internet
Many of you may not know that the Millennium Pageant has its own web site at http://www.sibford.co.uk/2000/ . The internet pages were created to publicise not only the Pageant but also the villages of Sibford Ferris, Gower and Burdrop. The web site is currently attracting around 20 visitors each week and we have had several requests for e-mails whenever the site is updated.
The web site contains background information about the villages, and their most famous inhabitant, Frank Lascelles. Pageant newsletters are also posted as they appear. Further details of the Pageant will be posted on the web site, when available.
Editorial contributions from any local organisation are welcome as it is intended to continue with the development of the site once the Pageant is over. A directory of local services and organisations is planned with a free one line listing for local groups and businesses. Please forward details if you wish to be included.
An additional aim for the web site is to raise funds for the Pageant. Advertising is available on the web pages with all payments going directly into the Pageant’s coffers. As little as £5 per month will place your advertisement on one of the web pages.
Please give me a call on if you want to know anything more about the site, or drop me an e-mail to geoff@sibford.co.uk.

Although the Millennium Pageant website no longer exists, parts of it may be viewed on the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine. The Internet Archive has no record of it after October 2007. You may like to read about the origins of the present website.
