occasion my mum (Joyce McHaffie) and possibly Gladys Woods or her
sister?
I came across the old registers when clearing mum’s and the Sunday School
Register covering a period from 1963 – 1967 showed there were between 42
– 54 children attending in any one year.
I wonder where they all are now?

Vestry (Standing Committee) notes
The first meeting of the Standing Committee, Office Bearers and Priest only,
took place in November.
We heard the Priest’s report and discussed the financial matters covering
October only (everything else with Cook & Co in preparation for the AGM).
The actual date for the Annual General Meeting has yet to be confirmed.
The business agenda was limited, and the meeting was short - a miraculous
45 minutes!
