Introduction

WelcomeQuakersyard.co.uk was originally set up by Gareth to secure the Broadband connection to the Treharris Exchange by means of a campaign. BT supplied loads of leaflets and we got busy delivering them! Few months later the Treharris exchange had reached its registered target and we (Quakers Yard Community) were to get broadband. Well that seems like ages ago now! This site is now an information source for the Quakers Yard area and Internet users alike. Enjoy your vists here.
