Para 1.20 | The year has once again been dominated by two main objectives A.To once again try and return our members to Church following the pandemic. B.Total replacement of our Heating system. A.Activities have just about returned to pre-pandemic levels with most of our groups now meeting once again on a regular basis . Inevitably some groups have not returned however we have been able to start up a number of new groups . Come together which meet on a Tuesday afternoon was initially set up for the Asylum seekers ,as a place to meet outside of their Hotel premises and has grown to include other members of the Church And the wider community. Table Tennis once weekly now has approx. 20 |
members ! B.We have 2 Industrial boilers which provide heat for both the Church and the Community Centre both were over 42 years old. On our Annual service in January 23 one of the boilers was condemned and the remaining boiler was unable to service both buildings due to its age and therefore we decided to completely replace our Heating system Total cost was Approx £45K with £30K coming from a legacy and our local circuit lending us the remaining monies. This was completed in June 2023 and we are already seeing the benefits of new boilers in reduced energy costs and warmer buildings.
