Ashley Church: 150th Anniversary - 7 pm Tuesday 29 June
Time to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the consecration by Bishop Harper on 29 June 1871. Paul Askin will lead a short interdenominational service in the Church tonight. Guest speakers will outline the key phases of the building's history including its salvage and restoration nearly 50 years ago. Supper will be served afterwards with birthday cake! Entry is free but donations to cover costs will be appreciated. Still some seats left. Just a reminder that there is no toilet at the Church but we will have heating tonight.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
