More news in the latest edition of Private Eye. A letter from the ‘Chief operating officer, Winchester Cathedral’ which insists that there’s ‘nothing to see here’ and all is rosy. News on another page concerns the potential fatal actions of the Dean on the Southern Cathedrals Festival.
I don't honestly know what to make of this! Recent YouTube live broadcasts sound very thin, perhaps unsurprising in the circumstances, but I am delighted by the news of Andy L's nuptials at St Cross, which itself is a very precious place, and I wish Leona and Andy every joy an happiness hereafter.

Isn't it simply a case of that wretched Dean trying to pretend that nothing much has happened, and that all is sweetness and light; classic C of E tactics. Anyone who cares about the Cathedral Choral Tradition should be keeping the pressure up, particularly in making sure the Bishop's Report is not "suppressed". Thankfully plenty of highly placed people don't seem minded to let this one go, praise be.
I flagged this up again as there are I suspect a few "highly placed" people on here, who perhaps are able in turn to publicise what's going on to their circles, thus keeping the pressure up.
Would be interesting to hear Lizzie's take on the atmosphere in the Cathedral at the moment......
The Dean of Winchester, the Very Revd Catherine Ogle, has announced that she will be retiring on 1 May 2025
Announcement timed - according to a cynical clerical friend - to co-incide with the A B of C's resignation. It certainly got past me, I only discovered it today.
We could really do with Lizzie's input on all the goings on - I hope she's OK.
