To all incumbents/please reply to janetslater@riponcathedral.org.uk

 

 

 

Dear Incumbent,

 

We have now got a clearer idea about availability of tickets for parishes.   Very few incumbents have come back to us,  but we think this does not reflect what tickets will be required by parishes.   We are therefore asking again (even if you have already replied) if you will send us the number of tickets you would like for your congregations.   We do not need names, just numbers.   

 

We need to have replies in by Wednesday 8th July.   Because of the time factor, only applications received by that date can be considered.   We will do our very best to see that you get your requested number, but cannot promise.

 

With best wishes

 

Janet
