Welcome to this week’s blog - as always, thanks for having a read.
Last Monday morning while Donna went through her emails, I joined Ian at Selsey Town Council for a Digital Future Group meeting. We finished considering potential IT Partners for Council to consider, which will allow STC to embrace the Cloud and save money running and replacing aging hardware. In the afternoon I dropped her at County Hall for a Standards Committee meeting, and filmed a further, future episode of 60 from Selsey. It is proving more popular each week, so thank you for watching. There are two episodes of 60 from Selsey left in the Squeezing the Sponge series. Every time a new episode of either 60 or Tim’s Travels is released we put them out across our socials and add them to the dedicated pages on our website and our YouTube channel.
On Wednesday Donna was back at County Hall for their Remembrance commemoration of officers who died in one of the wars.
Young people were called upon to serve when we were faced with those times of conflict. We rightly recognise they are our future, but, of course, those first steps on the rung in adulthood are so important. I was moved by a recent piece by John Harris about NEETs, people aged 16 - 25 who are not in Education, Employment or Training. John comes from Frome in Somerset, home of one of the oldest registered local interest groups, the Independents for Frome. Here is his article about NEETs:
On Thursday and Friday she had private meetings, several were related to casework and residents' concerns.
As I got older, I became increasingly keen on making the most of leisure time. Without entering into recent national debate, it seems several European countries have more leisure time than us:

If you like spending some of your leisure time in tranquil spots but don’t want to go too far, the Mardens might be just the ticket:

As always, from the whole Team, stay safe.
