#Church #furniture #Altar New Hall School Newsletter
Just received a really nice email from Mrs Jacqué McGlynn HEAD OF MIDDLE SCHOOL GIRLS, LAY CHAPLAIN PREPARATORY DIVISION and SACRISTAN @NewHallSchool
Jacque sent me what she wrote for the newsletter:
New Altar for the Preparatory Divisions
We are pleased to inform you that we have a new bespoke Altar in the Preparatory Divisions Hall, now known as the Denford Hall.
The Altar was designed by Mr Joe Early, a former member of staff who taught DT at New Hall. Mr Early also made the bespoke Processional Crosses and stands, used in both the St Francis Chapel and the main Chapel in the Senior Divisions building, as well as the unique Baptismal Font in the main Chapel.
Everything that Mr Early creates has a story and meaning; for example, if you look closely at the Altar, you will see that he has designed the front to represent Jesus’ arms outstretched on the Cross. We are very grateful to Mr Early, who understands our ethos, and feel privileged that in respect of this, he produces items that are distinctive to New Hall.

If we weren't all consumed by Brexit
If we weren't all consumed by Brexit
we could be...
Building a better future,
and helping refugees.
Protecting the environment from Donald Trump
and growing far more trees.
Planning for AI,
By regulating I.T.
Fixing divisions in society,
caused by austerity.
Bringing hope to sink estates,
in cycles of poverty.
Taxing big business
and support creativity,
by helping entrepreneurs
provide job security.
If we weren't all consumed by Brexit
We could be...
Building houses for Millennials,
without burden of the past.
Tackling directors pay,
sailing at full mast.
Fixing public services, the NHS
education and fast.
Instead we struggle with negotiations,
looking likely we'll come last.
For now I look on at Mrs May
and think why breakaway
from several decades of union,
that is still serving us today?

Eclipse
Conspiracy theorists predict that the 2017 eclipse could bring about an apocalypse. Should we be more concerned by nature or ourselves at the moment?
It has been 10 years since the financial crisis began. The events of this year have been quite extraordinary, evidence and reason have been ignored and emotion has governed the response.
In the long term sea levels are rising, erratic weather conditions continue, crops are suffering and some areas of the world will reach unliveable temperatures in the next 20 years. Environmental issues continue to be the biggest threat to mankind and yet they have slipped off the agenda.
Trump's disregard for the Paris Climate Agreement represents a towering ego with no respect for the forces of nature. His inflammatory words to North Korea demonstrates a total disregard for diplomacy. Europe's delayed response to the refugee crisis highlighted a worrying lack of compassion. The UK's bury your head in the sand focus on vintage nostalgia and a Royal Britannia ruling the waves sound bite message have all shown a concerning diversion away from the bigger long term picture.
The focus has been inward looking and self preservation has prevailed.
Will the eclipse next month offer fresh perspective?
It's time to wake up, leave the hangover behind, stop building walls to protect the past and start building for the future.

Our 1st workshop
I found this image yesterday of our first workshop a 3m by 3m log cabin that I constructed one summer. It was at the end of our garden in Fingringhoe near Colchester. This is where it began back in 2010, and a lot of our initial range of products were dreamed up and made in there. I have fond memories of being full of hope and big dreams.
