Our Vicar, Paul Towner, has joined a group of friends, staff and students from the Royal National College for the Blind when they abseiled down St Peter’s Tower on Saturday 12th June. 
Commented Paul before the event, “I am not sure whether, for this activity, being sighted might be a handicap!” Thus Paul made his second descent blindfold! It just goes to show that you don’t have to be mad to be part of SPSJ but it helps!
Money raised by Paul will be divided between the RNCB and the Finding Life In the City (FLIC) project. The great news is that so far Paul has raised well over £400 – it is still not too late to support him.

Paul Abseiling
Anthony & Tanya Brooks penned a limerick inspired by Paul’s abseil:
There was a brave Vicar called Paul
Who abseiled down the church wall
With funds on his mind,
A harnessed behind
To fail didn’t feature at all.
The second time he did it blindfold
He had very tightly to hold
To trust those around
Get him to the ground
Would have left some of us cold.
