CHANGE OF CHAPLAIN
A service led by District Chaplain the Revd. Nicky Skipworth RNR enabled the smooth change over of our unit chaplain with the Revd. Lynn Rees taking over the reins from Major Ray Hobbins SA who has given the unit valuable and appreciated guidance over many years. We wish both well.
