I placed a post on the website on 16th September requesting information as to whether any member had mistakenly picked up a set of keys from my desk or found them in the vicinity of the Baptist Church
To date I have had no response , there is a “metal AA tag” on the bunch of keys whereby , if the finder informs the AA , they will get a £10 reward
I would ask all members to search their belongings as someone may have taken the keys thinking that they were their own
Please call or text George on 07826 0482379 if you find the keys or alternatively please leave the keys with Darren in the Baptist Church office
