April Works party – Thank you!
Thank you to Robin for organising this morning’s working party at All Saints’ and thank you to everyone who turned up to help. We achieved all our targets (plus a couple) for the day with pipes undercoated and door ironwork cleaned and repainted. We even cleaned the tower out! Great teamwork and fun with it. See you later in summer for round 2 when we put the top coat on and tackle a few more of those unglamorous essentials.
