The long-running war in Syria has resulted in the destruction of many magnificent, ancient buildings.

He will be showing them at the Millennium Memorial hall on Friday 4th March at 7 30 p.m.  Tickets £7 50 per adult (children free).

Tickets available from Carol Ward (01962 883185).

Proceeds for St Catherine’s church funds.  There will be a retiring collection for aid for Syrian refugees.
