For as long as anyone can remember, the first Friday of every<br />

month at the Undercroft has had a unique character, one of<br />

indefinable benevolence. Margaret Horsey has been a faithful<br />

member of the team of Crofters for 31 years, but now that she is<br />

in her tenth decade she has decided to step back from the table<br />

where she radiated charm and friendliness for so long. Here is<br />

an opportunity to thank this great lady for exceptional service to<br />

the church and bless the gifts she has so freely given to both<br />

the Undercroft and to Christian Aid.<br />

Margaret represents in<br />

two ways the principle<br />

of outreach which is<br />

the visionary ideal of<br />

the Undercroft. It was<br />

in 1980, in what was<br />

to prove a stroke of<br />

genius, that the<br />

Misses Gardner, who<br />

were members of the<br />

congregation, invited<br />

Margaret, their New<br />

Town neighbour, to<br />

become a Crofter.<br />

Ever since then she<br />

has given a warm,<br />

hospitable welcome to<br />

visitors who were<br />

delighted with her<br />

sparkle, her lovely<br />

personality.<br />
