Paul Atterbury Talk

This event was a great success. Paul's ability to speak for over an hour without notes was amazing and his talk was humourous and informative. Well over £700 was raised for charity! Congratulations and thanks to all those involved in organising and supporting this event and especially to Veronica for allowing the use of the church which meant that a much larger audience could be accommodated.

ShelterBox

Our donation of £400 to ShelterBox has contributed to box numbers 33370 and 33371 which are both going to Goma in the Congo. Well done everyone.
