Coffee Morning
We were delighted to see a good response to our coffee morning
last Wednesday in the Cloister Café. As the Cathedral
redevelopment work continues, we realise that it is very difficult
for our Cathedral volunteers and wider community to meet socially
so in order to provide an opportunity for everyone to get together
there will be weekly Coffee mornings in the Cloister Café.
The next one will take place this Wednesday 10 February, 10.00am – 12.00
noon. All are welcome. |
