Heating replacement

Amid the coronavirus gloom there is one piece of good news. Almost a year ago we told you of our project to renew the heating of our entire plant at St Thomas. The cost looked impossible. Then Covid19 struck and shut down several good ventures to raise some money as well as any progress towards heating. But now the contractors are making their bids, and a start is possibly only a few months away. You responded with your customary generosity, and already have produced nearly 20% of the parish liability. That is huge. Much credit to Andrew Dodd and his two principal colleagues who have shouldered the unwelcome task of fund -raising. He is still quietly nudging to find the rest of the money and can be found at
