Fire Wardens Due to current legislation it is necessary, and important to carry out on an annual basis, a fire drill in St. Mark’s. To enable us to carry out this task it is necessary to appoint a number of Fire Wardens to assist in the safe evacuation of the building and halls. We are looking for volunteers from the congregation to assist. The only requirement is to be reasonably fit and able to ascend and descend the staircases. Training will be provided. For more details please contact Alan Brown, Milton Montgomery or leave your name with Carole in the office.
