 The Vicar We use to have a vicar, I'm sure we did. You couldn't miss him - black shirt, white collar. Whatever happened to him? What was his name again?

 Anne Gregory - Parish Administrator Anne has been at St Oswald's since she was a child and has gradually risen from "the noisy one in the youth club" to "the noisy one on the PCC" more commonly called the Parish Administrator. As such Anne is responsible for virtually everything and it is widely believed that the church (and possibly the universe) would cease to function without her.

 Steve Collins - Churchwarden Steve has been newly elected as churchwarden this year and along with Duane (below) is responsible for the fabric, contents and general maintenance of the church. If anything needs doing around the church Steve is the man to go to to find a reason why we can't.

 Duane Harwood - Churchwarden/PPC Secretary Duane is serving his fourth year as churchwarden and has recently been appointed PCC Secretary. As PCC Secretary Duane is responsible for keeping the minutes of the PCC meetings (although an MI5 cryptographer is sometimes needed to decipher his notes), for losing them when considered appropriate and he pays special attention to removing comments about the Archdeacon.

 Roger Cashmore - Organist St Oswald's answer to Liberace. Roger is equally at home with the electric Hammond organ, the church organ or an M16 rifle. After music, his main hobby is shooting people and causing general mayhem (that's in computer games - not unappreciative listeners). Roger is a perfectionist, never satisfied unless he fills his quota of bum notes during the service.

 St Oswald's PCC The Parochial Church Council is responsible for the smooth running of the church. They meet monthly and make the decisions about the direction of the church, the work that needs to be done, how we spend our money, who's going to take the blame and how we stop the Archdeacon from finding out. A PCC meeting is often an arena of lively discussion although rumours of fatal disagreements remain unconfirmed since the minutes of those particular meetings have been mislaid. (See PCC Secretary - above).

 The Choir Since they retired from touring the Heavy Metal circuit, Molly, Steve, Sue and Jim have formed the core of St Oswald's choir. Enid has now returned to the choir (albeit with half the usual number of lungs) and new recruit Wendy means that the choir is now well equipped to lead and support our congregation in its long-running battle with the organist.
Hint: put your mouse cursor over the pictures to see behind the disguise
