                    Church Heating 2010
        Project Underway ! August Update

 The Property Committee are pleased to announce that the
 heating refurbish programme is now finally underway. Local
 heating contractor Bob Mansfield of
 Earlsdon has won the bid submission to
 replace and renew all of the major
 heating components in the church some
 of which are still installed from the
 original system over 75 years ago ! The
 project is likely to take between 4 to 6
 weeks (assuming all the heating
 components will be available to install), but when it is finally
 complete  will make the church environment a much
 warmer place to  be in during the winter months !
