Old Beach Community Hall now has IT equipment for use, thanks in part to Brian Mitchell MP and a government grant. Previously people hiring the hall had to bring their own laptops and use a projector for presentations. A new communal laptop and screen has already been put to use, with a community forum being held a week after its installation in the hall. The hall is used regularly by a Scout group, a playgroup and several health and fitness community groups. It is available for hire for private functions, training, social events and fitness activities. A spokesperson for Old Beach Community Hall said that with a growing range of community members looking at hiring local spaces, the new IT equipment is a great asset for the hall.
