David has been doing a spot of voluntary website development to promote the Friends of Edington Priory Church. This small Wiltshire charity celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2006.

"My links with Edington go back to the mid-1970s," says David, "when my parents moved to the village after Dad retired".

This tiny village near Westbury boasts one of England's most magnificent parish churches, known to BBC Radio 3 listeners for the choral evensong broadcast from the annual music festival in August.

"The Friends were established in 1956 by the vicar of Edington, Canon Ralph Dudley," David explains. "Ralph, who also founded the music festival, was well-known to my parents, and I met him on various occasions during their time in the village".

To mark the Friends' 50th anniversary in 2006, the organisation has embarked on a marketing plan that includes the creation of a new logo and website that will appeal to new members. David's design for the logo is based on one of the original brass consecration crosses still surviving in the church, and the colouring reflects the ornate plasterwork of the nave ceiling.

David has already created a basic Friends website in time for this year's music festival, which runs from 19th to 26th August. "Now, I'm very much looking forward to developing the fully-featured site in the autumn, as envisaged in the Friends' marketing plan," David concluded.
