There were 2 deaths this past year, Arnold Greenwood April 2024 and John Hecht May 2024. Both of whose familes paid the £4,200 fee.
5.0 Open Days
No open day this year at Fishponds due to lack of availability from both Sam and Yoram. But £700 in donations have been received. We discussed the possibility of setting up a digital donations system on a Bristol Chevra website. Sam to explore these options.
