Hi
Just to let you know that the church of St John the Baptist, Beeston, Nottingham (Southwell Diocese), has been closed since Sept 2007. It has now reopened and is magnificent. The major celebrations will be in mid June around the patronal festival of 24 June 2008. The celebration weekend is 22nd June 2008.
We have reordered the church and alot of this work turned out to be remedial for damp, drains, old electrics etc. The comments from parishioners are that the church looks twice the size, is so much lighter, twice the space etc.
I was chair of fundraising and it took nearly £980,000. This was a great effort to raise so thanks to all those who helped.
Jane
