This is to be followed by a simple buffet reception. Officers of the Chaplaincy, the Ministry Team and representative of every congregation and home group have been invited, along with representatives of other Churches. We regret that numbers have had to be limited in this way because it proved impossible to find a venue close enough to Civray for any other kind of event. We also regret that incorrect information has been circulated.
