January 2021 update
With Covid lock down striking yet again the committee are still unable to meet. Our plans for 2021 are still on hold but we are monitoring the situation closely.Rest assured, as soon we can meet, we will be up and running.
In the background, we are still working hard. However the bulk of our work and the storage of digital archives is divided between two committee members on their PCs and a laptop. These are our personal pieces of equipment and two of them are quite old in terms of computer technology. The laptop which often freezes is used quite often in our presentations. We feel that almost everything should on one dedicated computer with standardised software, appropriate functionality and sufficient storage to meet our future needs.
With this in mind, during December, we applied for a second round of funding from the Leicestershire County Council Heritage Fund to acquire a suitable dedicated laptop.
I can report that we were successful in our bid and we are now the proud owners of a much needed piece of equipment.
