For many years, the concert organist David Price, who now lives in Thailand, hasgiven an annual recital tour of English church and cathedral organs. We haveengaged David, who is also an Anglican priest in Thailand, to come to St John’s aspart of this year’s tour and provide a recital on Saturday 26th July at 7 p.m. It hasbeen agreed that admission to the recital will be by donation. David Price will give50% of the takings towards our efforts to pay for the costs of installing a newworking processor in the organ, amounting to £4000. As you may already know,the St John’s instrument is highly regarded by organists who play for our servicesand has a good regional reputation too.David’s programme will last about 45 minutes, and he has deliberately selected aprogramme that will have a wide and popular appeal. Free refreshments will beavailable before the recital. Please do support the occasion so that we canmaintain the excellence of our church organ. Thank you
Richard is doing a sponsored swim to help pay for some automatic doors, which will help disabled people to come into the church. He is swimming 2500 lengths of the Wellington pool, which equates to 45 miles - the distance across the channel to France and back. What lengths are you prepared to go to to make Richard’s 2500 worthwhile? You can make a donation by clicking hereThanks
