ST MARTIN’S CHURCH OPENING 2024 Thank you to all those who were involved in opening the church every day throughout the summer. I would like to add that if we are to continue this in 2025, more volunteers will be needed, as it is felt that a rota requiring people to be responsible for one week in four is asking too much. John Pascall

The evening which is a Church and Community event and 50/50 fundraiser, depends largely on the help given by the membership.
