Archbishop's Visit: With only two tickets to distribute some of you will have learned that you have been disappointed having let me know that you would like to go to the Jubilee Service. However, there is a hog-roast at Stoneleigh with the Archbishop leading an all-age service starting at 12noon on Sunday 27th May. I am hoping to encourage everyone to go, with friends and neighbours if possible. To be possible it will need all those with cars to try to make their spare seats available on the day. Please let me know your thoughts...
