Sorry, I knew the post code was Sutton Coldfield. The post code you quoted gives: The Works 5 Midpoint Park Kingsbury Road Minworth SUTTON COLDFIELD B76 1RN and the phone book gives The Works Minworth Tel: (0121) 313 6000 - Unit 1000a Midpoint Park, Minworth, Sutton Coldfield, B76 1RN Midpoint Park is an industrial estate There is a book retailer/stationers/artists stuff called The Works. They have a branch here in Lichfield. Unfortunately I'm off to Tenerife in the morning so I can't check.

If you want to ask them, their address is The Paper Place, 71 Eachlehurst Road, Sutton Coldfield Tel 0121 351 1307

According to both his own website and the official British Monarchy website he is still there.

Tuesday Nov 10th, 7.30 at the Cathedral, £8: the three Lichfield Organists give the end of season recital/concert. It's mainly requests so don't expect anything too highbrow but it's usually good fun..

Neither did I until I moved and found myself walking daily past the Lichfield Register Office on the way to the Cathedral. It is not unknown for wedding groups to move en mass from the RO to the Cathedral Close so that they can have "nice" photos. There is a perfectly good park adjacent to the office. We even had one group move into the building. That did seem somewhat fraudulent! Back on topic: at all the local parish churches that I have had connections with the Organist (not me) had the right to a fee if not required.

There has been a change: Cathy Lamb plays on May 12 and Martyn Rawles on June 9
