Hi tea tree,
My dad was a member of the 2/289th.
Grandad was one of the leaders I think.
I had a load of paperwork relating to the n2/389th, I gave them to the scouting association when grandad died for their archive.
Mum, Dad and both sets of grandparents were part of the church in the1960s.
May I ask your surname? I'm guessing you and my parents will know each other lol.

Hi Gaille
I was at the final service too along with my brother and his wife, we met many friends from some 30 years ago at the buffet following the service, a sad day but in some respects a happy reunion too.
I attended through the late 1960's, cubs and scouts followed by senior scouts,my Dad was the organist for quite some years, hidden behind the large cross in the centre of the choir area, he also played for the choir, when there was one, then in the later years, he played the organ in at the front of the church near the font.
There has been a lot of history lost with the closure of the church, I'm trying to find out what has happened to the scout troop. Can you help with any information about what has become of them please?
