BroseleyOnline is attracting over 6000 visitors a month (This peaked at 8000 in July last year). I’m discovering that this site is growing in two directions - Community informtion & Tourism information .. I seem to be spending my time answering emails from people wanting to know where to stay & eat in Broseley (Amazing!!!). It would seem that Broseley is in need of a ‘Tourist’ website. What do you think?..On the other hand I’m getting more and more information from local people about events going on and about Broseley.

To sum this all up… Broseleyonline is doing GREAT!!

Thanks for your support and continued help.

A Ceilidh (pronounced “Kay-lay”, emphasis on 1st syllable) is many things. It derives from the Gaelic word meaning a visit and originally meant just that (and still does in Gaelic). It can also mean a house party, a concert or more usually an evening of informal Scottish traditional dancing to informal music.

Broseleyonline now has its very own “kay-lay” page - Go check out the events planned for the year now!

Many Thanks to Alistair for the information..
