New Church Heating System (Hurray!)

After many years we finally have a date to start work on our new heating system in St Bart’s.

It will begin on Tuesday 28^th September, the day after the flower festival.

Obviously there is going to be some disruption. Please can we all be patient and understanding in the knowledge that it is going to be great when finished. It will only be for a couple of months and it will be nice and warm for Christmas!

Inevitably, this project is going to be expensive and will be in the region of £90,000.

If you would like to make a donation, towards the heating fund, please put it in an envelope clearly marked “Heating Fund” (and don’t forget to Gift Aid it).

Alternatively, you can pay by bank transfer. If you would like the bank account details, please contact the Parish Office by email, look at a standing order form, or put it in a yellow envelope clearly marked “Heating Fund”.
