The Kendall Chronicle Vol12, Issue 11 November 2015 Edition 4 Trust News re: Community Centre By Alvena Ferguson You may have noticed that lots has been happening around the Community Centre. A grant from Clubs NSW (Laurieton United Services Club and Westport Club together) provided approximately $7000 to up- grade the sound and lighting equipment in the Ken- dall School of Arts Hall. Nigel Head of Head AV was commissioned to design, supply and install the new equipment. The September Kendall Music Exchange gave the first opportunity for it to be tried out, fol- lowed by Rose Wilson's Kendall Sing-a-Long Show and both events were reportedly overwhelmed with towards the cost of a festival. This will roll together the ease of operation and the variety of shows the some of the smaller local events such as The Good new equipment can enhance.
