August is
our “quiet period” when most of our user
groups close down for their holidays and we can use this time to
carry out some of the major works on the premises.
The main
task this August will be the installation of new gas heaters
in the main hall and the small hall. These new heaters will be
more powerful as well as more efficient, so we will save fuel
because of a shorter warm-up period before sessions commence,
as well as because the gas is burnt more efficiently. Thus in modern
jargon our “carbon footprint” will be reduced.
We have also
obtained quotes for the remaining jobs of fitting a new carpet
and painting the corridor, as well as painting the ladies’ toilet
and the vestibule.
Another planned
improvement is to move the sound system console in the church
to the rear, and to upgrade the whole system. The new “studio” will
need an operator for each service. We have one volunteer for
this, but a volunteer for the position of back-up operator would
be most welcome. Any budding studio engineers out there? Please
contact Roger Flint or Tony Manning!
While we cannot promise that all these jobs will be completed
by September, any subsequent disruption will be kept to a minimum.
