ORGAN
The organ
has now returned and looks magnificent with
polished box and gold pipes to replace the rather dull silver. It also works!
Thanks to
all who contributed – we are about halfway
towards our target of £8,000.
THE HOLE IN
THE GROUND is
now filled in with the Treatment plant installed.
ANNUAL GENERAL
MEETINGS
The AGM of
Nocton PCC will be held on Wednesday 30th
March in the Church at 7.30 pm. Everyone is welcome.
The AGM of
Nocton Parish Council will be held on
Wednesday 4th April at 7 pm in the
Village Hall. Everyone is welcome.
At the last
Parish Council meeting, Harry Copewell
was co-opted on, which goes to show that at least one person reads the
magazine
as he saw the vacancy notice in February’s magazine!
NOCTON
FRIENDSHIP CLUB
With the
demise of the taxi service from
Metheringham, the Club is seriously short of members and in danger of
closing. Anyone interested in joining
should contact Ann Kennedy.
WHERE NOW WITH
NOCTON CHURCH RESTORATION ?
Priorities
are now
1.
The disabled
toilet (having sorted
out the drainage)
2.
The Vestry
refurbishment
3.
Cleaning and
renewing the wall
paintings
4.
Redecorating
the church walls
I hope we
are able to complete 1 and 2 this
year. 3 is dependant on finding an
outside contractor and 4 should follow 3.
<>In
the meantime, we have commissioned David Glew to
do our quinquennial survey. This is an
obligatory 5-year survey of the church and grounds by a suitably
qualified
architect. Keep our fingers crossed that
there is not a lot else wrong!
