Church Visiting
For the
benefit of new members, the visits may be to churches, chapels or
other places of interest and are usually in the morning of the third
Wednesday of the month. Group members choose which churches they
would like to visit and take on the responsibility for finding a guide.
There may be a charge for this, otherwise we suggest a donation of £2
per person for each church visited.
We
are organising a coach outing to
Peterborough
on Wednesday July 18th mainly to enjoy a conducted tour of
the cathedral. There will be
time to get refreshments and have a look at the city centre as well as
the cathedral grounds.
The
total cost of the trip is likely to be about £20 and I will confirm
this as soon as possible. We shall leave
Chelmsford
around 9.30am. We have
booked a 29 seater coach so it is very important that you let me know as
soon as possible if you would like to come. Obviously there must be
enough of us to make the trip economically viable.
