I met in the morning with my Chair of trustees, and we discussed WCVS’s accommodation, our forthcoming AGM and our forthcoming NAVCA inspection.

As Pam left, Angelo arrived to install some new PCs, while I left for Hatfield to give a presentation to colleagues from the Hertfordshire Infrastructure Consortium on the new mywatford.net system at the splendid new offices of the Hertfordshire Community Foundation. Even allowing for my (let’s be charitable) idiosyncratic presentation style, I was struck by the range of very different reactions to the demonstration: some enthusiastic, some keenly interested, some cool, some wary or even slightly cynical. People do have these very private adn personal reactions to ICT: which is what makes ICT so endlessly difficult and endlessly fascinating.
