Searching for new organist
READ Parish Church is looking for a new organist to succeed Mr Keith Hall, who is leaving after 12 years to take up an ap pointment in the South. The vicar, the Rev.
Alan Reid, said the work would mainly be for Sunday services at 10-15 a.m. and G-30 p.m. and choir practice on Thurs day evening s. There would be a small retaining
fee.
The arrangement would be flexible with the ad
vantage of having a very enthusiastic choir to work with. There was scope to help
train the choir for any applicant who wanted to do so and there would be a deputy available as a stand-in where necessary. The organ, though small, has been overhauled and is in good condition. Mr Reid paid tribute to
annual meeting that the chamber could feel "truly
dismayed” about yet another rate increase, especially when the Gov ernment was supposed to be suppor t ing small businesses. In his annual report.
