    Dear Friends of N.M.C.

    It is with deep sorrow that I have to announce the death of Mr Brian Gendall who died on Tuesday 10th May. He will be missed, he was chairman of the choir for many years and did a lot of hard work, we will also miss the jokes he told at the choir dinners. Our thoughts and prayers go to Christine and the family at this time. The funeral was on Wednesday 18th May at High Street Chapel Penzance at 1pm.
