And so we come to the end of our 49th year.....

Busily, as always!!

Remember that Sunday's first of July Mass starts at 12 noon, please. See note below.

The Choir Party is on 3 July, and Music Checking on the following Tuesday. Plainchant Choir practice at 19:30, before Music Checking.

I have growing concerns about the damage being done to music by those of you who take music home in soft bags, and we really will need to find a remedy to this.

Photocopied music is getting very tatty, and it is not cheap and often not easy to replace.

..... and the start of our 50th year!

We start back on 18 September, with just the one practice before our Annual Mass of Thanksgiving on 25 September, a Coffee Morning on 30 September and our first Sunday of October Mass on 7 October. Phew!!

Here's to a wonderfully happy twelve months.

The July Jigsaw - Phyllis McCarthy's Benemerenti reception, 1990. Familiar faces to some, from 28 years ago.

Have you spotted the little symbol bottom-right beneath the puzzle that allows you more space on your screen?

Thanks to Richard for the bottom three.

Plainchant Choir

19:30 Practices: 10 July and 11 October.

Cantors

19:45 Practices: Andrew 2 October and Jeannette 30 October.

Prayers, please

Please remember especially at this time Terry Jupp's sister Susan and a Choir Member's urgent Private Intention.

We pray also Veronica's sister Monica, John Windsor, Ken's niece Beth, Carole Winch, Mary & Frank Elliott, and Jeannette's mother Hazel.

Gordon Clark and Christine should be remembered too, please, that they continue to make speedy recoveries.

A Reminder

Our Sunday Mass on 1 July starts at 12:00. Parking will be at a premium. We shall all fill one side of the gallery for this Mass - please arrive in plenty of time as I find it very difficult to keep the seats free whilst playing the organ! Perhaps you'd all be kind enough to play a part in this. Many thanks.
