· A Member highlighted the opportunity to explore new cultural patterns and enquired what the numbers were for the Centre’s digital offerings which were not provided in the report. Officers agreed to share digital data with Members.
· A Member asked what the policy was on rescheduling events. Officers confirmed the public were always given honest appraisals of why an event could not go ahead and refunded.
