Note

A slight drop in numbers this week but that was to be expected without Margaret's tribe.

Thanks are recorded to those who remained after the service to assist with clearing away. Particular mention should be made of Jean, Gayle, and Henry Spackmore, whose practical help considerably shortened the process.

Their example is a useful reminder that community spirit is most effective when it is expressed through actual assistance rather than commentary. Let's keep that in mind as we move on towards Christmas.

It was fantastic to see attendance figures rise again this week and it proves our efforts in promoting the Chapel are working as intended. We are still slightly behind the number we were expecting but I am hopeful that next week we will smash this figure out of the sky.

Thanks to Margaret A, for bringing her visiting family along; it was fascinating to hear their tales of life in a big city.
