Friends of St John's Stroud

Daphne Dobbyn, President of the Friends of St.John's Stroud Committee, has forwarded a copy of the September 2009 Newsletter covering the Cowper200 Celebrations at Stroud. Which was by all accounts a most memorable event, with the oppourtunity to meet up with old friends again and to meet many new supporters.
