Extended and Improved ONLINE MUSIC GIGS PROVE A SMASH HIT people in our local community and help out a very worthy cause. The Trust provides an amazing service to lots of people and it brings us great privilege to be able to support them in what they do.” Kyle Maxwell, Hanger Farm Arts Centre Manager, said: ‘It has been a very difficult year for us, we have had to postpone dozens of shows, events and weddings and we remain unsure when we will be able to fully open again. “Our weekly virtual gigs have been fantastic, raising money for the arts centre while keeping our loyal audience entertained while we can’t welcome them in person. The generous support of Inline AVmeans we can produce really high quality streams, we are incredibly grateful to them for their support.” e Coronavirus crisis has been hugely challenging for the Trust, with its income vastly reduced as its social enterprises closed for several months. e Trust runs Furzey Gardens in Minstead, Hanger FarmArts Centre in Totton and Minstead Lodge hospitality and events venue. ese enterprises also o er work experience for people with learning disabilities to work towards employment. Watch the virtual gigs and donate to support people with learning disabilities at www.minsteadtrust.org.uk/virtual- stage A Hampshire theatre’s online music gigs have proven to be a real hit with audiences thanks to the high-tech wizardry of a Southampton video company. Hanger Farm Arts Centre in Totton has been live streaming Friday night music performances on Facebook to thousands of fans over the summer, with more gigs planned throughout the autumn. e multi-camera, high de nition stream is being provided to the charity-run theatre by Inline AV, a video company that specialises in live streaming and producing live video for events big and small. e 20 gigs this year have included local acts such as Liam White, Mike Vaughan, Nat and Ryan, and Ben Townsend. Audiences have been donating as they watch, raising more Musician Ben Townsend, playing live at Hanger Farm than £1,000 for learning disability charity Minstead Trust while it is unable to run live shows with audiences at the arts centre, due to Coronavirus restrictions. In return for their support, Inline AV has been admitted to Minstead Trust’s Business Club as a Platinum Member. e club is a group of more than a dozen businesses who support the Trust’s work and receive exposure and invites to exclusive events in return. Billy Jameson from Inline AV, said: “From our background in working in theatre and the arts, a big part of what we enjoy is to provide entertainment and to enrich other people’s lives. Hanger Farm, being part of Minstead Trust, provides us with a great opportunity to feel as if we can give back to other Fawley Parish Council acquired the Warren Copse and Holbury Manor Woodland in 2009 to compliment land it already owned in the area and the Conservation Group was formed in December of the same year under the Chairmanship of Eddie Holtham who was a councillor for the parish at the time. e woodland was best described as being broadly unmanaged and the plea for help that went out said “it needed some tender loving care to enhance its qualities”! ree people turned up for the rst two sessions but since then there has been a hardcore of 15 to 20 members for the past 10 years plus, meeting two mornings a month, weather (and more recently, COVID) permitting. With 2,121 hours of work between them over the years the Council planned to mark the 10 year anniversary of the group by presenting “Certi cate of Appreciation” awards to 6 long standing members at the Annual Parish meeting in April 2020, however due to the national lockdown this did not take place. As time has gone on and with restrictions continuing it was decided to go ahead with the awards rather than waiting – to Felicity Beard, Pat Herridge, Mike and Sandra Sare, Steve Reed and of course, not forgetting Eddie who has run the group with such success. Chairman of Fawley Parish Council, Cllr Alan Alvey said: “The area has changed so much over the last ten years and we have received many compliments on the work that has been undertaken by the conservation group which, I can assure you, is very much appreciated by the Council and Its parishioners”. Eddie said “At first local residents did seem to be sceptical about plans for the Copse however it is very gratifying to hear the nice, positive comments we receive today which makes it all worthwhile. It has been a learning curve for all of us, but we have received great support from the Forestry Commission, the National Park Authority including the Land Advice Service, the National Grid and Natural England. They set us on the right course for what we had to do”.
