MADAM,

Following our appeal a few weeks ago for people to come and give us a hand painting the outside of Dixton Church a number of people got in touch with us to offer their help.

They made short work of the job and the church now looks very smart. We would very much like to thank everybody involved, including Gordon Nechvatal, Gail and Andy Raynor, Carol Reynolds, Chris Hollick, John Cox, Florence Mayo, Jim and Cathy Duncan, Mike Hargaden, Derek Rowlands and the Lions Club of Monmouth.
