Development/ Restoration Fund:

Over the next few years we have to raise a lot of money, principally for major  re-wiring of the church. There  are also roof works and other possibilities for improving our current facilities, in the pipeline.

For your information the Development Group are:

Rachael Barber (of Gordon Barber Funeral Directors), Simon Bransby, Cathy D’Oyley, Martin and Rach Hartley, Ruth Lambert and Joyce Lincoln.

Please feel free to speak to anyone in the group who will be able to tell you how we are progressing. Do you have any ideas you would like to put forward to the Group?

You are invited to come along to St Catherine's Quiz and Chip Night on Friday, 11 October in the church hall at 7 PM. It's a fun evening together and you would be made to feel very welcome. Simon is away for 2 weeks in September, so if you could let us know if you are planning on coming and give us your food order by 15^th September that would be a big help.
