In am grateful to all those who attended the concerts and to those members of All Saints congregation who week by week came to assist with the refreshments. Without the loyal attendance of everyone concerned it would not have been possible to raise sum a large sum for charities.
The concerts will begin again at 1.05pm on Thursday the 3rd May 2007. Hopefully more members of our won congregations will be able to find time to attend some if not all of the concerts!
