The Salvation Army Church was opened on 19th July 1969.The ribbon was cut by Mr. George Mustill. All the money raised for this came from the generousity of the village. Mr Charile Barton gave the land (where his shop stood) and every Saturday afternoon Cecil Collis (my dad) & his team of willing workers would be off on his lorry to collect all the old newspapers and then send them to the waste paper company in Cambridge for cash.
Ray Munns would do a furniture auction of donated furniture while Jean, his lovely wife, would hand over her kichen to the ladies of the corps to make and sell teas and cake. It was hard work but it was all paid for by the opening day.
May I take this opportunity to say a huge "thank you" to everyone who helped and supported us then and over the years
