A brief history of darg.org.uk

Originally the collaborative idea of the Fareham & Gosport DARG, darg.org.uk was initially a standalone website for the Fareham & Gosport DARG. A few months later, Havant DARG expressed an interest and a decision was made to split the website into individual organisations.

In summer 2008 Paul Cobb of Solent Solutions and Lawrence Taylor took the initiative to produce a framework and central resource for all DARG's and their supporting organisations. Based on the success of the Fareham & Gosport DARG website, this new framework will allow us to easily add, integrate and manage individual websites for other DARG's should they wish to invest in a website of their own.

Now in the final stages of development, darg.org.uk has the potential to create not only an invaluable resource, but a unique online community. The benefits of online collaboration have been proven the world over in various business sectors, we believe that collaboration and communication between agencies and organisations could prove invaluable.

The Solent Solutions team and our involved DARG members are constantly coming up with new ideas and material for the website. We cannot emphasise enough how important your feedback and input is to the development of this website, whether you have an innovative idea or you have simply read an interesting article in your local paper... We can't wait to hear from you!
