NEW faces will be welcomed at Ledbury Parish Church, to welcome the 12,000 visitors expected during the tourist season.

The Friends of St Michael and All Angels want to boost the number of volunteers who are part of the church’s ‘welcoming team”.

At present, only 40 per cent of available two hourly welcoming ‘slots’ can be covered, because of a shortfall of volunteers.

Anyone interested and seeking more information should contact David Houghton through the church office on: 01531 631531.
