Calling all Holy Dusters!
Our loyal band of ‘Holy Dusters’ has been in existence for a long time and several members of the band now feel that they can no longer manage the work required. The Church is large and keeping it clean and tidy is no small task.
We urgently need new volunteers to replace those retiring from the job. It is not too time consuming – about 2 hours every 5 weeks. We have had to reduce the number of groups as we have lost members so we hope to welcome at least 4 volunteers.
Further information is available from Betty Taylor (527015) or Doreen Wintle (312813)
