Both these </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">will have minimal visual impact, although there will be </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">speakers in the gallery. Over 1000 people a month view </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">streamed services, and even weekday ones attract </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">between 30 and 50 views each day. </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">Both the CCTV and AV systems’ upgrade are </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">only possible due to the kindness of </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">departed church members who have left </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">legacies. The CCTV is coming from a sum left by the late </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">Neil Trood, and the AV system from the legacy of the late </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">Ann White. We are most thankful to them, and pray that </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">they may rest in peace. The Parochial Church Council has </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">a policy of putting all legacies into reserves for capital </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">projects.
