Notice from Helpers in the Kitchens
We are always grateful for the generosity of bakers who bring home baking to various events in The Cornerstone. However, many have not collected food containers which are now piling up in the kitchen(s). Regrettably we have to advise that all containers left in the kitchens on Monday 10th February will be removed.
Managing The Cornerstone – a new approach
We have been unable to appoint a permanent caretaker for The Cornerstone, and therefore have to think of a different way to manage access to the building etc. To do this we want to set up a small team of people who would cover the duties on a rota basis, by managing a set period of time. The commitment will be a few weeks across the year. As a salary is not appropriate for this arrangement, an Honorarium will be offered to the team members.
If you would be interested in joining the team and wish to have an informal discussion, please contact either
Stewart Campbell ([email protected]; 07882 305026) or
Des Nicholl ([email protected]; 07929 037906).
