Sunday 5^th May – at the con­clu­sion of the 9.30am ser­vice and pri­or to morn­ing tea: the garden seats are being ded­ic­ated in memory of Fabi­an LoS­chiavo and Rose­mary Brad­ford.  The fam­il­ies of Rose­mary and Fabi­an have been invited to join us and it would be appre­ci­ated if those of you who are NOT dis­abled or eld­erly would park else­where on this occa­sion and cer­tainly NOT park out­side of the marked park­ing spaces.  We will need to provide park­ing and hos­pit­al­ity to those trav­el­ling from far away, as they are not so famil­i­ar with the area and where park­ing is freely avail­able.  We can park at the Cyprus Club or in the Edge­ware Road Car­park or along Stan­more Road.  Thank you!
