IONA 2011 I hope to get a group together from St. Mary’s and
St. Paul’s to visit Iona in 2011. The date that we go will be
dependent on what’s in the programme and when spaces are
available. I need to know who would like to go by the end of
August so that I can make a bid for places in September. We
will be leaving Hemel on a Friday, staying overnight in
Glasgow before journeying on the following day; we return the
following Friday. The cost will be about £430 to cover
accommodation and transport there and back. If you want to
know more, please call or email me (216832 or
stuart.harrison@bcs.org.uk). If the cost is beyond your means,
speak to Marion Smith (266377). To find out more about the
