Marc Jackson spoke on item 6.1 Macc -Pow! and a proposal for the this event and how it was growing very quickly and has many people coming from all over the world. The event has integrated itself into the town and having events in shops and cafes and the library to bring in footfall. One of the things they want to do is invest more in creators, e,g five minute portraits.
