New Blinds!
In February we had new blinds installed for the ceiling lantern windows as a result of a generous grant from Newport Council's Shared Prosperity Fund. These blinds are said to cut heat loss by 60% and are operated by remote control so we don't have to struggle with a long pole any more. They also cut out most of the light so we can have daytime presentations on screen.
