I am sorry to tell you that both the Guild events arranged for June have been cancelled. I would prefer to say postponed but this depends on the progress of the Coronavirus.
Please keep your eyes for updates on the Guild’s page and further information will be given in the May edition of Laudate.
For your information, a new Guild website is being developed and will be going live by May at the latest.
with best wishes to you all
