I would like to place on record a general vote of thanks for all your hard work to organise the annual MSJA with BSA & JSA carol service at St James's Piccadilly. The service was a resounding success and it would hard to find praise enough for the choir - they gave a spectacular performance. Great wine afterwards as well!
