 HAPPY 30^th BIRTHDAY TRINITY TIMES!  We’ve baked a cake (or more correctly Hazel Mellor has) and would love to share it with you over coffee at the back of church on Sunday 5th February. And don’t forget to pick up the latest issue in which David Edgar tells Ronnie Mulryne the story behind his RSC hit Written on the Heart; Trinity Players unveil their spring production and, in pictures, it’s Au Revoir Andrew, while the Trinity Telly Tots sparkle as our parish stars on Sunday. Still only 50p.
