With sadness we have to report the passing of another of our members. Michael Poppleston passed away on Thursday 18th Jan.

From then he was a member of the band at St Peter’s for some 12 years. Before Covid, Michael made it to many of the daytime weekday sessions, even though he was struggling with mobility. Please remember his wife, Anthea, in your thoughts and prayers.
