Eileen Organist We are in desperate need of an organist who would be willing to play 2/3 weeks a month. If anybody knows anyone who would be interested then please see Jane, Dave or Neil. If we could get a few people it would only mean playing 1 week a month. Food Bank Thank you to everyone who regularly donates to the food bank. We noticed on Friday that we are very short of coffee and longlife fruit juices. If you could donate either of these we would be very grateful. On Friday 21st March I will be sleeping out in the Cloisters of Salisbury Cathedral to raise fund for the work of Hope Nottingham. I am not asking people to join me but would encourage those who are able to support me with sponsorship and/or encourage others to do so.
