Paul Woodfield - Church Administrator

Paul became the Church Administrator in April 2009. He loves the job and serving the local church despite the occasional challenging and bizarre random requests! A long-suffering Hammers fan, an occasional ornithologist, a relaxing evening for him would be with a glass of red wine and a nice curry.
