Text Box: Web site  The Society is experiencing great difficulty in getting alterations done to the site. The site is not completely up to date and contains an error in the time of the Christmas Concert (Spring Newsletter page). This is a cause for concern, but unfortunately we have no control whatsoever over up-dating the site. We are considering the possibility of producing an alternative site over which we have control.

Hopefully this will be available for the concert in September

Text Box: Seat cushions The Church has now placed an order for the manufacture of seat cushions for the downstairs pews. More comfort means more tickets sold?
