It was great to see a report in the Guardian last week explaining how the small Devon town of Appledore has managed to put on a successful drive-in lit festival. It really highlights the ingenuity of our sector. Over the last six months there have been hundreds of digital events (and a few real world ones) that have successfully taken place - organised by people who at the beginning of the year had probably never heard of Zoom or Crowdcast. And what’s more - the events have all been free. The motivation for all this hard work has simply been to do it for the public good - to provide something for our communities in this most difficult of years. It is pretty remarkable. Well done us!
