Today’s workshop on mywatford.net was a minor disaster. Our venue for all the workshops has been the Newton Price Centre. The internet connections to the sites have always been very slow but tolerable. Today, we could barely get connections at all and we had to abandon the sessions after a frustrating hour: particularly frustrating as at this workshop were Kim Bloomfield (of WBC who paid for the system), Kim Price (keen to use the system for the Disability Forum) and Phil Willerton (one of my trustees). Technology is always likely to turn on you when you most want it to just keep quiet and do its job.

After this debacle, I had a cuppa with Phil Willerton at YMCA talking about the future of Watford’s community centres.

Back at CVS, Angelo and I tried to work out why the speed of the mywatford.net site had been so slow. but the site was functioning perfectly well and we could find nothing wrong. Sometimes I hate technology.
