IMPORTANT!

If your church or one of the church groups is planning to produce an angel for the Angel Trail, could you let Ruth Ridge know by this Friday, 12th November, please?  We need the final details in order to have time to create a trail map.  The angels themselves do not need to be ready until Monday 22nd November. Thank you.
