It’s always a great honour to present the Parish Notices when Lawsey is off on one of his adventures. I thought I’d try something a little different this time, I thought I’d write all of that information onto wee little cards. It’ll help me pace out the notices, in exactly the same way you’d pace out a marathon; you don’t want to go too fast and the information just wash over everybody at speed – but then you don’t want to go so slow so as to lose everyone’s interest.
Lawsey makes this look so easy!
Here’s a link to the actual Parish Notices video, courtesy of Rob Hankey who was my camera operator for the evening…
…so you, dear reader, can fully appreciate “the cards” that’s how I’ve captured them here. In card form but in a way that Simon Gill can easily upload them to the website…
