August 2011 - Project Update

During August the St Mary’s Project Team have been busy with audio visual and lighting trials. Many of us have also taken the opportunity to have a much needed break before we become fully immersed in preparations for the building works to begin. The tender process for our main contractor is also well under way. Our scaffold design has changed considerably and the new design removes the need for supporting props in the interior of the church.

At the end of July, Lucinda Williams was appointed as our Heritage Education and Volunteers Officer. Lucinda will take up her post on the 12th of September. We are pleased to be welcoming Lucinda to St Mary’s as she has a great track record of developing educational programmes and working with volunteers and community partnerships. Previously, Lucinda has worked at the John Moore Museum in Tewkesbury and at Oriel y Parc in Pembrokeshire.
