Now I relate to the boil￿ slufi. What has begn done in the tsbric of our church and hall.
Itwas agreed by the PCC that St. Andrew's would set a budget and work to that, so that we do not overspend our
incom8. We ar8 Still making improvements to the hall flat which provides us with an income. The flat needed to
b8 rè-wired, and nèw household goods frttèd. Thè rotsf(ng has beèn improved to slop the leaky ¢oming in and
Causing wel patch of the floor and staining waus. We have a new cooker installed and new tiling on the wall behind

thatth• 8rthit8el has shown us hi8 plains. This was built and dèsigned by misunilerstanding, not knowing that we
needed 8 faculty 88 It was on ¢hur¢h gr¢unds. It will cost a large amount of money to rectify this mishap.
We are hoping that the new food and coffee servery will be started soon, a faculty has been approved forthis and
quotes are being sought. It would be nice lo ha¥e a Sink and hot and iunning walor atthe bac& of th¢ Ghurth.
This would slop people frDm Garrying dirty GUP and plates lo the Sacristy lo wash up and carrying back. 11 would

The church continued lo benefit Iiom iental income of the St Andrews flat, Holy nativity manse and Into University
