MINUTES OF THE ANNUAL MEETING OF PARISHIONERS OF HELLINGLY AND UPPER DICKER Held in Hellingly Church on Sunday 25[th] April 2021

Present: The Revd. Jeremy Sykes (Vicar), Miss Carol Haywood (Churchwarden), Mr Stephen Monico (Churchwarden), members of the Parochial Church Council and Mrs Gillian Chubb who took the Minutes.

1. Scripture and Prayer - The Vicar welcomed everyone to the meeting and opened the proceedings with a Scripture reading and prayers.

2. Apologies - a number of apologies for absence were received

3. The Minutes of the Annual Meeting of Parishioners (Vestry Meeting) held in Hellingly Church on Sunday 25[th] October 2020 having been previously circulated and read individually and there being no comments or amendments put forward, the Vicar proposed that they be adopted.; these were unanimously agreed after being proposed by Mrs Sylvia Skinner and seconded by Mrs Linda Pratt.

4. Election of the Churchwardens for the year to 30[th] April 2022 .

The sole nomination for the now vacant position of second Churchwarden being Mr Robert Moore, he and Miss Carol Haywood were duly elected as Churchwardens for the year to 30[th] April 2022 having been proposed by Mrs Jacky Clark and seconded by Mrs Gillian Chubb.

The Vicar then thanked Carol and Stephen for the tremendous support they had given him for which he had been immensely appreciative whilst negotiating all the obstacles to normal worship thrown by Covid 19 . Although Stephen had only been Churchwarden for three years, his work in this role had been invaluable as it will surely be in his new calling.

The meeting was then closed.

APCM 2022

MINUTES OF THE ANNUAL PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL MEETING OF HELLINGLY AND UPPER DICKER Held in Hellingly Church on Sunday 25[th] April 2021

  1. Minutes of the APCM held on 25 April 2021. The Vicar opened the meeting by suggesting that the Minutes of the APCM held in Hellingly Church on 25[th] October 2020 having been previously circulated should be adopted which was proposed by Carol Haywood and seconded by Jacky Clark.

2. Electoral Roll . There were currently 119 on the Electoral Roll.

3. Annual Reports. Although these had been circulated, not everybody had had the opportunity of reading them so the Vicar suggested that they should be read later by those to whom this applied.

4. Summary of Finance. The Treasurer gave a brief summary of the finances beginning with the reduction of income by £27, 000 due to the pandemic which had necessitated the closure of the churches. Of this, about £9,000 was from reduced giving through the offertory and other giving, although a legacy of £1,000 for the church had been gratefully received. Income from church activities was reduced by about £20,000 of which about £9,000 arose from loss of wedding fees and about £5,000 from lost fundraising opportunities.

On the expenditure side, the Treasurer said we had paid £15,000 less than our expected Parish Share and had been able to make savings on utility costs of nearly £1,600 through the reduction of heating; changing the contract for electricity had also helped. In December 2020 Bishop Martin had declared 2020 to be a Jubilee Year resulting in the cancellation of past debts which meant that the shortfalls in the parish share would be written off. The Margaret Lawrie Trust Fund which had been used solely in support of Holy Trinity, Upper Dicker, had been wound up and the remaining funds were transferred to the combined parish of Hellingly and Upper Dicker.

The Treasurer concluded his résumé of the finances by saying the effect of Covid 19 on voluntary giving brought home the benefits of the Parish Giving Scheme and he urged those members of the congregation who had not signed up to the scheme to look into it - he could supply full details.

The Friends of Hellingly Church.

Due to the pandemic, only one event was possible which was a presentation and supper by Colin and Jane Tourle at Herstmonceux Village Hall which raised almost £1,500. Membership and other donations added £3,888 to the funds though associated costs were £196.The Friends were able to make a contribution to Hellingly church of £1,290 against the architect’s fees for the initial drawings for the west door replacement.

The Vicar said it was vital to connect with the community firstly with mission but also to put our giving on a sustainable footing to enable us to fulfil the former and that there were plans in hand to address these issues.

Olive Lewis proposed that the accounts should be adopted which was seconded by Roger Bacon and universally agreed.

APCM 2022

5. Vote of Thanks . The Vicar proposed a vote of thanks to the Treasurer, Officers of the PCC and for all the volunteers who continue to keep the church running throughout the year who are not always acknowledged for all that they do. This was proposed by Gerald Hartley and seconded by Sylvia Skinner.

6. Elections . The Vicar thanked Nicky Twort and Valerie Moore for their help and support on the PCC and wished them well. Election forms has been received from Jacky Clark, Gillian Daw and Gerald Hartley and their being sufficient vacancies available it was proposed by Gillian Chubb and seconded by Robert Moore they be accepted. A vote of thanks was then given to Gillian Chubb by the Vicar on behalf of the PCC for her sterling work over more than 10 years in producing the minutes for each of the PCC and APCM meetings.

The election of officers would take place at the first meeting of the PCC.

7. Confirmation of Sides Persons . A change in the Church of England procedures now meant that this was an item on the first PCC agenda.

8. Appointment of Independent Examiner. The Treasurer asked that Watson Associates be appointed as our Independent Examiner, with no other names put forward, the meeting agreed.

9. Items of parochial Interest. The Vicar explained that the Diocese had asked all the Parishes to look at updating their Mission Action Plan and this would be one of the main focus points that the PCC would be looking at over the coming year. This would involve the whole congregation being able to participate in looking at where we were currently, where we thought we should be going and how we could accomplish those goals. With Covid still having an effect on the services and meetings, the Vicar also thanked everyone for making him so welcome when he had seen them out and about and he would hopefully be able to meet more groups as they commenced again.

10. Prayers and Grace . After the Grace the Vicar closed the meeting which had been attended by 45 people and invited those who wished to, to stay for lunch.

APCM 2022

VICAR’S REPORT FOR 2021

The year began with a celebration of Epiphany on the 6th January and then our usual services for the Baptism of Christ on the Sunday thereafter. But then all places of worship in East Sussex were asked by the County Council to consider suspending worship as another wave of COVID-19 swept the country. Only a few people had received a vaccine at this stage and the general feeling was in the Diocese that we should comply. So all church activities ceased once again with only the quiet prayers of the Vicar and a few others heard in the church at Morning and Evening Prayer. During this time a regular parochial letter was delivered either by hand or by post or email to every member of the Electoral Roll each week. This letter attempted to draw some spiritual nourishment from the readings for each Sunday. It did give the Vicar an opportunity to visit members of the congregation on their doorsteps, getting round everyone about once a month.

Come mid February a 10am service resumed at St Peter & St Paul at which numbers gradually rose from 20 or so as people felt able to attend. Ash Wednesday was observed in church. The pastoral letter ministry continued in parallel for some weeks until Easter. All services were said without music or singing. It was somewhat bare bones but it threw us back on the essentials of why we gather for liturgy. It was hard having to file out of church obediently without socialising however.

Holy Week was celebrated and by Palm Sunday numbers had risen to about 50 or so. We celebrated Maundy Thursday and kept a three hour vigil. Good Friday was observed at both our churches, Holy Trinity coming back to life for the first time since early January. On Easter Day we kept a Dawn service and both Holy Trinity and St Peter & St Paul celebrated the resurrection with about 75 people attending in total.

During the season of Easter a regular service at 9.15am at Holy Trinity was reinstated and at Pentecost the 8am at St Peter & St Paul likewise. At this point our Sunday worship reverted to its normal pattern. It was good to be back on track at least with our Sunday liturgy. But of course with many safety and health measures in place it still did not feel quite normal.

Our first wedding of the year was on 15th April with only 15 in attendance due to government restrictions.

APCM 2022

During the year 13 weddings were celebrated in St Peter & St Paul.

There were:

in Hellingly at St Peter & St Paul:

9 funerals in church

3 burials of ashes in the churchyard in Upper Dicker at Holy trinity:

3 funerals in church

2 burials in the churchyard

2 burials of ashes in the churchyard 20 children under the age of eight were baptised.

Come the summer the PCC started to work on a mission action plan for the next five years. This began with a day together in the new Community Hub at Roebuck Park. After a period of consultation with the congregation a plan was published in October. The PCC recognised the twin challenges of the need to expand our congregation and to eliminate the annual financial losses of recent years. To this end a number of initiatives have been planned including:

Messy Church - offering a way in to church life for young families unfamiliar with church life. This is to be held several times a year on Sunday afternoons at the Community Hub.

Eco Church - to attract involvement from the wider parish by focusing initially on the churchyard at Upper Dicker.

Many other ideas were gleaned from this process all designed to draw people into church life.

As the autumn unfolded we introduced singing and music back into our worship. Without an organist we used recorded tracks to accompany singing at St Peter & St Paul and sung a cappella at Holy Trinity. This has worked well on the whole. Our 4th Sunday of the month family service at St Peter & St Paul also came back with the Open the Book team providing the content of the worship every other month. We started to welcome the newly baptised at these services again. Harvest, All Saints and Remembrance were all back in the programme. By the time we approached Advent things were beginning to feel a lot more normal. Attendance was steadily rising with around 75 on average coming each Sunday across our three regular services.

The Advent Party for the newly baptised was cancelled this year but Advent was kept in good style with the added contribution from a wonderful Christmas Tree Festival around the 2nd weekend of Advent. Carol services were down in numbers as might be expected as many people were still highly cautious of gathering in large numbers inside buildings.

APCM 2022

Christmas arrived and we had some well attended Crib Services despite the restrictions still in place. Christmas Day was quite well attended and a low key service for St Stephen was kept on the 26th of December.

So the year ended on a comparatively quite note but much had been restored over the previous twelve months and some interesting and exciting plans were in place to implement in 2022.

As vicar it has been a little frustrating to not be able to engage very much with the wider community. Having said that opportunities have presented themselves in our local primary schools and armed forces organisations. But it has enabled me to get to our congregation very well in a way that might not have been quite so easy under normal circumstances and for that I am very grateful.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (PCC)

Like everywhere else in the world 2021 still saw us facing life with Covid 19, whether it was with ‘full lockdown’ or a slow releasing of the rules, regulations and recommendations. This past year has seen us reflect on where we are, where we are going and how we could, or should, see ourselves getting there.

We were able to hold our PCC meetings, albeit by Zoom and only now are we going back to meeting in person, but again at socially distanced spacing. This has also been reflected in how we have been able to hold our services and events. Many of which were still on hold from last year and are now only appearing as our ‘usual events’.

As some of you know every few years each parish in the Diocese is required to write a Mission Action Plan (MAP) and review our strategy, priorities, resources, working with others and an overall review. After consideration and consultation we came down to one word ”SANCTUARY”. This is what we are able to offer to our community in a way that no one else quite can as we do. We recognised that we can’t compete with other agencies, but what we can do is offer the “Good News” of the Gospel to our neighbour. It gives hope and a sense of purpose, belonging, recognition, value as well as challenge and the call to discipleship.

But how can we do the above and how did we start to do it:

Attendance and Pastoral Care Where many churches were able to offer on-line services, this was not an option for us at Hellingly and Upper Dicker, but we had a Vicar who enjoyed cycling round the Parish. We had available our website where each week a Pastoral Letter was posted and Jeremy who dropped them off, with a personal visit, chatting over a doorstep or sitting in the garden. We have an older congregation and some with health concerns who would not be able to attend church so we went to them. Numbers increased at services within the church towards the end of the year, but our main concern was that they should be ready and comfortable to return.

APCM 2022

In 2022 we hope to be able to return to our home communions for those who are either ill or not able to make it to a communion service.

Teaching and Nurturing new and existing believers. We face challenging times where housing all around us is increasing and lifestyles are 24/7 and don’t always allow time to go to church on a Sunday.

Although known for its lovely outlook and use, for weddings we still managed to have 13 last year and 19 baptisms with some still maintaining contact and becoming part of our larger family.

From our MAP we had identified the need for having a children’s and/or young peoples’ ministry. With the help of volunteers Messy Church is being started at our community hub. With the planning now over this begins in 2022 with food, fun and fellowship.

For our current congregation, our house groups, Lent group and other groups and organisations we are slowing beginning to meet again. Our choir and bell ringers who need to meet in close proximity to each other are still guided by their own rules, but with restrictions constantly being lifted we are looking forward to the future of them starting again. However, we should not forget our Thursday, 9.30am and our Sunday 8.00am services are quiet times of service and reflection for all to attend.

Evangelism and Outreach Many of our usual events were unable to take place over the past year, however, one that did was our stall at the Festival of Transport. With our stall of delicious cakes being present over the 3 days and our open air service on the Sunday our presence was a reminder of our Christian presence.

While we have been able to have our church open we have maintained our collection point for the Foodbank in Hailsham and we thank those volunteers from the church in taking our gifts down and then being able to help distribute them.

Provision of our church buildings Once again our Church buildings had a difficult year, as they always do if we are honest. At the time of writing we are still awaiting the Quinquennial report, it has been started for both Upper Dicker and Hellingly, but has yet to be completed.

The west door project at Hellingly has ground to a halt at this time as estimated costs are going to be very high and we have so many other important projects that will need our finances. The Friends of Hellingly Church have very kindly undertaken to help get the clock and faces refurbished in the tower and we are investigating the potential need for a faculty for this work but this should get underway shortly.

At Upper Dicker ongoing discussions with Bedes School are moving slowly but it is hoped that a resolution may be found shortly.

Our churches continue to be appreciated by our parishioners and many others as a space where life events are celebrated, but as with all buildings that are approaching 1000 years of age in parts there are difficulties, but overall we, and they, struggle forwards with great fortitude.

APCM 2022

Charitable Giving Over the year we had our donation of items for the Foodbank and we had charitable appeals to help the British Legion and at Christmas our Iasis appeal. More of our charitable giving can be found in our accounts.

We look forward to 2022 when baptisms and confirmations will take place at Easter, but we can’t do any of our activities without the help of our volunteers. Our final thank you goes to those who are prepared to make time, give up time or find time to show God’s love to benefit others.

DEANERY SYNOD MEETINGS 2021

There were only two meetings in 2021 – the first on 14[th] June 2021 by ZOOM when the speaker was the Revd. Yann Dubrceuil, Vicar of Beneley, Binsted and Froyle who spoke of God’s Action Plan – overflowing with confidence and hope.

The second was on 25[th] November, where the speaker was the Revd. Andrew Smith, the Diocesan Generous Giving Advisor. He said that the Church of England has undertaken extensive surveys to understand why people do or do not give. From this, various strategies have been formulated then adopted to suit individual dioceses , given their patterns of giving.

Ideas/Support for parish organisers are on the Church of England website under Resources/Generous Giving. Timing is important such as Harvest rather than Lent and also the need to demonstrate a clear target and finally, but very importantly – to say “thank you”! Churches can also take advantage of the new electric forms of giving as a way forward.

The Revd Marc Lloyd who chaired the meeting was pleased that the three churches in his benefice had been successful with their mission plans - Dallington Church now had a loo, Bodle Street had had a very successful Church Fair and Rushlake Green a Flower Festival and then drew the meeting to an end.

TREASURER’S BRIEFING - Financial Review

Incoming and outgoing resources

The total receipts on general unrestricted funds received were £91,434 and are detailed in the Financial Report.

Our planned giving though the Parish Giving Scheme, standing orders and envelopes fell by 1.1%. Our total voluntary income including tax recovered, but excluding legacies increased by 1.5%.

The PCC was grateful to receive a legacy of £3,000 from a parish resident.

APCM 2022

The PCC was grateful for a single donation of £3,000 and a Parish Council grant of £500 towards the restoration of the clock dials which will commence in 2022.

Sharing the ministry costs of the Diocese of Chichester

The largest expenditure of the PCC was the sum of £49,500 paid to the diocese for our share of all churches’ Parish Ministry Costs. This year the contribution from Hellingly and Upper Dicker increased by 6.8% on the previous year and the church is meeting 80% of the costs allocated to this parish compared with 68% paid last year.

The total relates directly to the housing, support, stipend and pension costs of the clergy of this parish, training of new ordinands, a contribution to national church funds and, shared costs of the Christian family throughout the whole diocese. Because we do not pay our full Parish Ministry Cost, our parish is supported by others in the diocese that pay more than their share.

Staff costs

The PCC pays for an administrator and a cleaner.

Further details are provided in the notes to the accounts.

Trustee payments and expenses

The PCC also supported the clergy by paying Council Tax of £3,575, Water and environmental charges amounting to £932 for the Vicarage plus other annual costs towards travel, hospitality, telephone, postage and broadband amounting to a little over £1,999.

Payments were made to the following PCC members, who are also trustees, for duties carried out at weddings and funerals. (Verger, Sound, Choir and Sexton). S Monico £20.00; M Eason £70.00; R Moore £60.00; G Hartley £180.00; C Haywood £65.00; J Clark £245.00. The only other payments made to PCC members were for the reimbursement of expenses. No PCC members / Trustees received payments for being a PCC member or Trustee.

There was one payment of £35.00 to the wife of A Piper, for verger’s duties at a wedding. There were no other payments to persons related to or connected to, the trustees.

Office costs

The PCC also approved the purchase of a pre-owned Mac for the administrator the net cost of which was £227 after two other laptops were sold. Other office and admin costs amounted to £651.

Repairs to the fabric of the church building

During the year, general funds amounting to £3,500 were set aside in a designated fund for the restoration of the clock dials.

APCM 2022

The Friends of Hellingly Church

The Friends of Hellingly Church are a secular group of enthusiastic locals dedicated to preserving the fabric of Hellingly Church. They returned to action post Covid with a Christmas Tree Festival. 26 trees were decorated by local groups and businesses. Adults and children alike came to admire the spectacle and enjoy some delightful refreshments. The event raised over £1,730.

The Friends fundraising is purely for the fabric of the grade one listed church. Over the year through membership, donations and the Christmas tree festival, The Friends raised £5,503.

Why we hold some money in reserve

The PCC holds some funds in reserve restricted to the fabric of the church which can be used for fabric repairs, including those identified in the Quinquennial Inspection. These funds originate from the amalgamation of a number of historic trusts. These funds are largely held in CBF Church of England Funds.

As well as holding the above reserves, from time to time the PCC receives restricted legacies for expenditure on restricted purposes, defined by the donor. We aim to expend such money as soon as possible after receiving the legacy, depending on the specific objectives of the donor.

Following a review of the law the Chichester DBF decided in 2019 that the previous presentation of Chancel Funds had been misunderstood and that a revision was required. Income received from Chancel trusts is not investment income, as the PCC does not own the trust fund nor its investments. Income from Chichester DBF is a restricted charitable grant to reimburse the cost of insuring the Chancel, which previously has been paid by the PCC from General Funds. In 2021 the grant was held on deposit by Chichester DBF

Accumulated grant income not yet received from Chichester DBF and included in Debtors amounted to £24,452.91 at 31st December 2020 (2020 £23,564.70)

APPENDIX OF ADDITIONAL REPORTS

HELLINGLY & UPPER DICKER MOTHERS UNION

We have all experienced dark and difficult times through Covid and yet, through it all, I feel our Mothers Union members have stayed very strong and now we look forward to better times as we face the future.

In July 2021 we held an Extraordinary Committee Meeting where Lynne formally resigned as Branch Contact, after kindly standing for 5 years. Four members stood down and we welcomed 3 new members to form a new committee. Betty Bragg announced that she would leave the committee at the AGM in 2022.

We had 21 members on that first meeting back in September, we had a celebration service and took the opportunity to sit and talk, drink coffee and enjoy cake together afterwards and just be glad to be back!

We decided to set off our re-start with what we do best – a Coffee Morning We held this in our garden on Saturday 18[th] September and this proved to be a wonderfully happy and very sunny event with 35 people who spread out into our garden. We raised a brilliant £422. Thank you to everyone who supported this, especially the stall holders - Barbara, Valerie, Hayzen and of course Shirley and Mary who made the coffee. We all thoroughly enjoyed it and I would like to say a big Thank you to all who came along.

In October, we were thankful to Dinah who stood in at the last minute to speak to us about her valuable work she does with The Street Pastors. A very interesting and up-lifting talk. October also saw the return of the Members Meeting, held at Haywards Heath. We were very glad to attend this meeting and 8 of us went and enjoyed seeing Mothers Union in a slightly bigger scale and we all returned home feeling positive and enthused.

In November we welcomed Rev’d Ronald Chatwin who entertained us very well with a talk entitled ‘Ghost-Busting Experiences’. We missed Barbara who had planned to join him, but he spoke about their experiences shared over the years and everyone enjoyed his interesting talk.

In December we had a wonderful Christmas Evening at the new Hellingly Community Hub and this was attended by 45 of us. The committee members kindly agreed to all contribute to the cooking of a hot meal and I would like to thank all of them for their amazing support. The Hub is a great facility, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the new venue and a chance to get together properly at last.

Sadly, we had 3 Mothers Union members who have passed away and we remember them fondly –Eileen Jenkins, Maureen Pyper and Margaret Bloomfield.

APCM 2022

I would like to thank a few people for the valuable jobs they do - Katy for looking after Birthday Bear, Linda for playing the piano for us, Pat for making sure we always have milk for the coffee, Jacky for producing the Notices, Marj who sends birthday cards and Cissie for cards sent to wedding couples. Thank you all for these important jobs, very much appreciated. I also want to thank my new committee for all their help.

I look forward to creating lots more opportunities to promote Mothers Union and also to enjoy many happy and successful times and events together for the remainder of 2022.

With love and prayers and many thanks for all your support. Val Moore – Branch Leader

OPEN THE BOOK

We did not start Open the Book again until October 2021. It seemed such a long time since we had done any plays so we were all a bit apprehensive as to how it would work.

Our first play was called ‘This is Good’ and was based on the creation story, which seemed appropriate for our new beginnings at the schools. So, on Tuesday 12[th] October at 9.00 we performed at Hailsham Primary Academy (HPC) and at 10.00 we went to Hellingly. Then on Thursday 14[th] October we were at Park Mead for their 2.30 assembly. The schools were very happy to have us back and we certainly enjoyed being with the children again.

As we are now alternating our assemblies with Jeremy, it was his turn to be at the schools in November. However, Jeremy asked the team to help him with the service for Advent Sunday and that required some advance preparation. We met with Jeremy who outlined his ideas and we split into pairs to develop them further and so the banners and prayer tree and a spotlight on the Gospel book and an explanation board were produced to aid Jeremy’s Advent Family Service.

In December Covid struck again and although we had rehearsed a Nativity story for the schools, we were never able to perform it. One after the other each school had to cancel at the last minute, and we had to finish 2021 having only visited our three schools once.

In February 2022 we were able to visit our schools again albeit that Hellingly School had to change our usual date. This time our play was called ‘The Helpful Servant’ which was an Old Testament story about the healing of Naaman, who was an important soldier at that time. An interesting challenge for us in some ways but great fun to perform and the children loved it. We were also able to use this play in our February Family Service which Jeremy was able to see for the very first time since being with us. You will have to ask him what he thought of it as the team are always biased!!!

APCM 2022

Once again, we miss out on our trip to the schools in April because of the Easter Holiday, but we can do the Family Service.

During the last 18 months 3 members have stepped down and one new one has joined us. So, we are now 9 in total and keen to have more so that we don’t all have to be involved each time and this helps with people’s holidays etc. It really is very rewarding and you don’t have to be an Oscar winning actor, as most of you who have seen our plays will know!! The amazing thing is that we are invited enthusiastically into three non-church schools to teach the children and the teachers a bible story with a relevant message for them in today’s world. What could be better than to be involved, as a Christian, in a project like that.

FRIENDS OF HELLINGLY CHURCH

Due to health restrictions the only function staged by The Friends in 2021 was a Christmas Tree Festival. A most successful event with 28 sponsored trees. More than 500 people came, including lots of children, and it gave great pleasure to see the church buzzing with life as well as raising funds .

The Friends are contributing to the cost of work on the church tower and clock.

BELL RINGERS - Annual Report 2021-22

Due to Covid-19 lockdown restrictions there was no ringing from January 2021 until the autumn.

Whilst some ringers waited for ringing to return, others continued to practice and learn new methods using the virtual ‘Ringing Room’ computer application, maintaining contact with each other via Zoom. A few of our number also attended a weekly ‘virtual’ practice organised by the SCACR.

We resumed regular ringing on Wednesday practice nights and Sunday mornings in September when Mike Jones joined our band from Hailsham. He is a very experienced ringer and we have been able to attempt more advanced methods. The total number of regular ringers in the band is currently ten and we have been able to recruit two much-needed new ringers who are showing early promise. One of our number recently attended a teaching course to assist with their development. As over half of us are now over seventy years old, we will need to attract further new recruits to ensure the sustainability of ringing at Hellingly going forward.

APCM 2022

We rang for Remembrance Sunday, the Christmas Carol Service and New Year’s Eve but we did not have enough to ring on Christmas Day. We have also rung at two weddings since the start of 2022.

Several of our band have recently contracted Covid-19 so we have been down on numbers but we are looking forward to being back up to full strength very soon.
