Conservation Project Web Page Updates
A record of the conservation work on the Parish Hall is being uploaded to the new EWPH Web Site and photos to Picasa. Its a slow process to make notes about the work, collate and then upload the photos which will form part of the digital archive for the Parish, but we're getting there.
Deborah Meaden Sends Message of Support and Encouragement
Deborah Meaden, probably best known for her work with Dragon's Den on television, is unable to come to open the Hall following the completion of conservation and restoration work due to her heavy workload. Deborah has sent a message which provides us with encouragement and support. We thanks Deborah for her best wishes.
‘I would like to wish all those involved, the very best with the restoration programme and fund-raising for the Parish Hall.’
