Abject apologies! Things have been very busy, with all Church Properties-----and the proper job! However, here is the stuff which has been sitting as a draft---- might as well have it---better late than never.

Well the sun shone (most of the day)- The organ worked! (thank you Iain) and the Violin duets (Wilson & Jane xx) were a joy as well. 207 people came through the doors and all (bar one) were pleased with what they found. A lovely and characterful building with people inside who work very hard to keep it open for all the rest. I do hope our friends in Bellshill tonight have a good music event as well. Malcolm, our architect spoke informatively about the repair work and I know that people will assume that I'll do as well tomorrow. But for tonight--I'm off to bed.
Sunday 20th.September ---- Very early before opening, I hoovered up all the leaves; this morning the Church Service was piped through the speaker system and the sun blazed through the windows all day and 108 people came in to visit. lots were really interested in the building, some concentrated on the windows, some on the music, and others just accept the 'shock and awe' effect when they first enter from under the Gallery. And that's with a whole pile of scaffolding in situ. So well worth all the work that went into clearing the place for our visitors, Many thanks to Hunter and Clark's people for all their help this week. Not many Contractors would be as happy to allow the Public into their Construction site
