    Human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell will be visiting St Mary’s in July. He will give a lecture on Human Rights and the Commonwealth the week before the Commonwealth Games begin in Glasgow. The lecture will be on Saturday 19 July 2014 at 6.30 pm – tickets £5 on the door. There will also be a forum conversation between Peter Tatchell and the Provost, the Very Rev Kelvin Holdsworth on Sunday 20 July 2014 after the 10.30 am Sung Eucharist.

Whether that is paid for from a cycling budget or from wherever, does not really matter.

    We are also getting a mini-roundabout at the junction of Keir Street and Henderson Street, which will calm the traffic coming into the village – something which people have said that they want.
