10 DUNWICH DYNAMO CYCLE RIDE FOR THE TEMPLE CHURCH ORGAN APPEAL The Temple Nights, a team of choir parents and friends, Ben Simms, Adrian Buchanan, Benedict Zucchi, Roddy Langmuir, Mike Clarke and (from the music office) Liz Clarke, cycle 120 miles overnight on 30 June, in aid of the Temple Church Organ Fund, from London Fields to Dunwich on the Suffolk Coast, taking part in London s greatest mass participation ride the Dunwich Dynamo. The Temple Church organ is undergoing a major overhaul, which will cost 750,000 in total. Over 650,000 has already been raised; and The Temple Nights are making their own contribution on 30 June. They are hoping to raise 10,000. Please support them as generously as you can. You will find them on the web link below. Thank you very much for your support. 10

11 SUPPORTING THE WORK OF THE TEMPLE CHURCH You will recognise how generously the Inns maintain the Temple Church and its music. For one example:- the school-education of our choristers (quite apart from the musical training they receive here from our own musicians) now costs the Inns over 100,000 per year. We certainly hope that the congregation is as proud as the Inns themselves of the boys achievement. For the successful running of the Church we depend increasingly on the collections taken at services and on benefactions. If you pay UK income tax or capital gains tax (whether or not you are a UK resident), it is of great advantage to the Church if you kindly make any contribution through Gift Aid. One-off Gifts: Envelopes. We invite you to use the envelope, provided in the pews, on which you should state your name and address and sign and date the declaration. Regular Giving: Envelopes and Standing-Orders. The verger has a form of declaration to cover all future donations. Each form bears a contributor s number; you need then only enter this on any envelope you use for your gift. The verger is John Shearer, verger@templechurch.com, THE ORGAN FUND The biggest task we are presently facing is the complete clean and refurbishment of the Church s magnificent organ, an essential and expensive undertaking which will ensure that the majestic voice of the organ continues at the heart of our music for the next fifty years and onward. We are touched and heartened that now, in early Summer 2012, the pledges and donations exceed 650,000 of the 750,000 to be raised. All further support will be warmly welcomed; the work is being undertaken until Easter This note comes with many thanks to those in the Inns and in our congregation who already support us with immense generosity.
