MIDLANDS SERVERS FESTIVAL - LICHFIELD 2001

The First Festival was held in 1956.

After the Service, Roy Cresswell, Secretary General of the Guild of Servants of the Sanctuary and who has organised the Festival for each of its 45 years, was presented with a cheque in recognition of his work and also to mark his recent 80th birthday. Congratulations Roy.
