What the accounts disclose
“Matt Millward looks after our Technology and has led the way towards better systems that deliver more for villagers. Matt has lent the hall his own (fabulous) sound equipment for a long time, we realised the hall should have its own kit. This year we have procured better PA gear to improve the experience, planning to bring external performances to the hall attracting new audiences. The Parish Council enabled this with an allocation of CIL monies which is hugely appreciated.” — page 1
