3. Painter (Temporary) required.
As the churchyard railings along Park Lane have been painted for us it would be useful if someone could paint the three doors on the Bier House to make the place look tidy. Paint will be provided but you will need your own sandpaper, cloths and brushes. It would be helpful if this could be done in the next few weeks before the winter. Apply to John Tresidder 813524

As part of her duties she serves as Agricultural Chaplain, mostly based at the Rugby Farmer’s Mart which moved to Stoneleigh Showground some two years ago. Having been a stock farmer for most of her life she is well qualified for the role.
