Bit thin on time to chat at present. Here in mid Wales were reeling under the weight of this weeks Arts Council Wales cuts. Three local companies all cut. CARAD (where I'm chair of trustees), Theatr Powys / Mid Powys Youth Theatre and Wyeside Arts Centre. Trying to steer a path of some kind. Pretty darned stressful all round.
