Forthcoming Events/Notices
Summary
information on forthcoming events is provided during each
Sunday service, but we also produce a monthly newsletter
which includes contributions from various members of our
congregation, a letter from our minister, reports on the work
of church groups, and full details of forthcoming activities.An example is available here.
The Church
recognises and endorses concerns expressed by the wider
community regarding climate change and the need to conserve
the world's finite resources.Although not currently a member, the Church supports the aims and objectives of the eco-congregation movement.
Building Insulation
The Church has embarked on a
comprehensive window replacement project costing well in
excess of £10,000. All the existing single glazed windows
will be replaced by double glazed units during the coming
year.
Insulation of the walls is
problematic as they are of solid stone and the structure is
Grade II listed by English Heritage.
Although glass fibre insulation
has been installed in the voids above all habitable spaces,
this is not of a standard which meets current best practice
and will be supplemented in due course.
Space Heating & Its Control
The kitchen, coffee lounge and toilet areas are heated
primarily by means of LPHW radiators fed from a modern
combination condensing boiler fitted with electronic time
controls and a frost protection thermostat.
Other areas are heated by means of electric night storage
heaters fitted with on-peak boost convector elements. These
are controlled by means of a Weather Watcher unit which
regulates the charge according to external temperature. Also
fitted is a set-back timer which halves energy input during
the nights preceding those days when the Church is not
occupied.
External Temperature Records
Daily measurements of external temperature and energy
consumption are recorded so that correct operation of the
electrical heating system can be guaranteed.
