Netherlee Sanctuary Roof Project
The Roof Project continues. It has been affected by some really poor weather, particularly in November. Good progress can clearly be seen with much of the north face of the main roof re-slated and with work well underway on the south face. As at the end of January 2023 the work is very slightly over budget. Largely as a consequence of the poor weather, completion of the works looks likely to slip into late April or early May.
Click this link to read the January 2023 Roof Update.
The cost of the re-roofing, upgrading of guttering and downpipes and stonework repair is estimated to be around £800,000. Whilst the proceeds from the sale of Stamperland Church and Stamperland Manse will cover most of the work we are looking for donations from our members. Please see our appeal for our Raise the Roof Fund.
At the beginning of November 2022 the Raise the Roof Fund had received over £47,000 in donations.
We will have access to the Sanctuary and the Lesser Sanctuary on Sundays throughout the contract
so worship will continue as normal. Members of the congregation are encouraged to use the rear
(no-step) entrance and the Welcome Hall entrance whilst the re-roofing work is in progress
in order to avoid the scaffolding at the main entrance to the sanctuary.
During the week, Health & Safety regulations will prevent access to spaces “under the builders”
and this will impact on the Wednesday service, the Monday Lunch Club and the Guild.
THE GUILD
The Guild meets on Thursdays at 2.00 pm from September to March.

BOOK CLUB
The Book Club has been meeting virtually, via Zoom. We usually have a light-hearted discussion and a chat about our chosen book. Not everyone likes every book, but that’s ok, as it makes the discussions more interesting.
We all enjoy the conversations and the fact that we read books we might not have chosen ourselves.
We are a friendly group of people and welcome new members.
