Swish is a group of Southery residents who are banding their skills together to raise funds for the needs of Southery. This page lists the team, how to contact them and their current and past project details. Clubs, activities, groups, sports events are all on here. Do you have a whist drive, canoeing team, sailing club? Let me know and I'll put the info on here. Southery has far more business than you may imagine. These range from self employed 1 woman outfits to a few large companies. Please take time to look over these people who's donations to the Village Voice monthly magazine keep the community alive. I've pushed the parish council page aside to fit the carnival in here. Bookmark this page for all the latest news on the Southery carnival.

Introduction

Southery is a small village located 6 miles south of Downham Market and 11 miles north of Ely, on the edge of the Cambridge border in Norfolk on the A10 and is predominantly an arable farming community. Surrounded by the fens, the landscape is flat with few trees with most of the fields below the waterline of the major tributarys in the area of the Wissey and Little Ouse.
The purpose of this site is to provide Southery with it's own window to the world via the interweb. It relies on the submissions of the Southery online community and with luck will expand and grow into a useful tool for the local residents. If you feel you have anything to contribute to the site, please email me
Southery.Com is a non profit site. Any monies raised via the site is donated to the Swish fund.
