Things are obviously not as bad as you are trying to portray. Count your blessings and head-shaped-dented-books, young man.

Our vicar is very fussy about not having out of date things so we don't usually. There are of course the traditional OFFICIAL notices of APCM, electoral roll numbers etc How about having to go to the shops just before harvest festival? or youthworker getting essential biscuits for youth fellowship group? a little late for churchwardens but... on sunday I noticed that our churchwardens always lead processions carrying a wand of office (aka fancy stick thing) and if they carry that people are supposed to follow them... even if they go home still carrying it???!!

Sally, your locality sounds like a hotbed of choral rivalry. Laminated sumptuous photography does seem to be going against the very ethos of church noticeboards. Thanks all for continued suggestions.

Posters for concerts jostle for position, and sometimes 'disappear' overnight to be replaced by a (rival) choir's poster. There also seems to be a battle on to have the most sumptuous photographic images on these posters. Choirs with money no longer use plastic A4 wallets to keep off the rain - they have laminated A3 publicity which covers 1/4 of the board.
