In response to a request from Dr. Kirk and his fellow members of Toc, H. the ante-room of the Chapel has been placed at their disposal and a fortnightly meeting held there. It was hoped that members of Toc. H might be able to give us occasional help at enter- tainments and other activities, and we are glad to report, that already such help has been forthcoming.
