4. Vicar's Report on Church Fabric: -
"Work to the value of £450 would be starting after Easter, principally on the tower, the windows and some normal regular maintenance. The work on the roof would have to be postponed. A piano, had been obtained ..... Two altar frontals were in such a bad state as probably to be beyond repair .... The electrical system had been overhauled, a new porch lantern fitted .... the task of cleaning the organ, costing about £300, has yet to be faced.

5. Hon. Treasurer's Report: -
"... showed that there had been a slight decline in church collections, but there had been donations of £234 to the Heating Appeal. He expressed a hope that this level of direct giving might be maintained without the necessity of a special appeal for the work on the church fabric ...."

ROUND THE SOCIETIES

Christian Fellowship

Science and religion; Christianity and humanism; these were just two of the subjects in which, the Fellowship, became involved on 10th March, when a youth panel was putting the questions to an adult panel of clergy and laity. The latter panel contained representatives of three churches and included a clergyman, a clergyman's wife, a lay reader and a member of the Baptist congregation! The youth panel had plenty of questions ready and the adults answered them very thoroughly. A most profitable evening.

Don't forget the united Service on the first Tuesday in April, at the Parish Church, during Holy Week. The date is 5th April.
