Church Social Committee
Dates for the Church Socials for 2025 have been set. Final details of themes and games/quizzes etc will be announced nearer the time.
We are also hoping to form a more organised and inclusive social events committee, as these events have evolved from the church choir practice meetings. An after church meeting in the lounge is to be arranged shortly to get peoples thoughts and names of anyone wishing to be involved.
