In Hallmark February 1983 Diane Fowler reported - As we go to print, we are all recovering from a super but hectic Sunday School party, as usual so ably led by Peter Green. To have organised 80 excited children was no mean feat! A sincere thank you from all who attended to all who helped in any way to make the day such a success
The Sunday School now numbers over 40 children, who meet every week, from 11 a.m. till noon, at the Baptist Chapel. With the increase in numbers we are somewhat short of percussion instruments for our band, and would be most grateful to hear if anyone has any instruments they wish to sell, e.g. tambourines, cymbals, triangles, xylophones, etc. Please contact Mr or Mrs Dudley Stevens on P.R.3286. (click Dudley & Marion Stevens for their life story)
In Hallmark December 1982 Dudley Stevens the Baptist Sunday School Superintendent reported.- "There has been a Sunday School at Loosley Row in the present building since 1905, and probably the previous building built in 1862 held one.
At present we have 35 children with an age range of 2 to 12 years, with 4 teachers all at present preparing for the Nativity Play, which will take place on 19th December at 2.30 pm., to which we extend a very warm welcome to anyone wishing to join us. On this note, we would like to wish everyone a Peaceful and Blessed Christmas, and a Happy New Year."
A Plaque in the Chapel Read :- “Ernest Isaac Lacey, teacher, superintendent and choir master at Loosley Row Baptist Chapel 1895 – 1930. When Isaac resigned from his position at the chapel, his wife Lily had the plaque made and it was put up on the wall in the chapel. click Ernest Isaac & Lily Lacey for more about Ernest Isaac.
