We've just received the great news that Northumberland County Council have offered to fund the remaining costs of the AV installation, completed in May. This is thanks to our local councillor, Veronica Jones, who applied to the council on our behalf through the Members Small Schemes budget for a grant of £2,500. This is on top of the £1,500 we received in January as a Community Chest grant. We very much appreciate Veronica's support as it means that we have been able to cover the whole cost of the installation without having to dip into our reserves, which we are using to maintain and upgrade the hall itself.
