Frank James Midsummer Gathering

Frank James Hospital: All welcome to summer gathering

Steven Goodman shares this latest update from the Friends of Frank James Hospital. Ed


The bad news; Sunday’s small work party discovered another attempted entry/damage – some old metal bars had apparently been used to try to force an opening through a remaining wooden closure on the north side . The good news; no real harm done.

Summer gathering
It’s suggested that we have another ‘big’ gathering on the afternoon of Sunday 26th June (which will be about 113 years since the memorial hospital was opened) for anybody wishing to join us.

As the midsummer sun will shine, feel free to bring al fresco refreshment. (I’ll bring some disposable cups, a bottle opener, a bottle or two, and a bag or more for anything left behind).

Pillar news
We’re expecting news soon on the repair to the pillar damaged years ago by the waste contractor’s lorry, and we’re also hoping to hear soon that the owners will be able to start work on the building.
