AS the world races along the information superhighway it's fair to say there's more than one of our community groups left at the starting block.

That's why The Northern Echo has teamed up with BT Community Connections to award ten multi-media Internet-ready computers worth £1,000 each to lucky community based organisations.

All you have to do is write to BT at BT Community Connections, PO Box 30775, London, WC1B 4QE and ask for an application form.

The lucky winner, like any community group with a computer, will be able to meet The Northern Echo's computer literate Communigate team to set up their very own website. Any community group who wishes to contact our Communigate team can call (01325) 505270 or log on to the website www.communigate.co.uk/ne

Closing date for completed applications to be received by BT at the address above is March 7. For an application form, contact BT
