At our last lions meting I was happy to welcome our new President Dave Lewis who took over from outgoing President Dave Lee. Photo to follow when i have time to download from my fairly ancient camera.

I have never have I heard so many puns in a school play. Both Lyn and I were in hysterics.  But what really impressed was the confidence shown by all the children taking part. A real credit to the school and the hard working teachers. p.s. the seats are still as hard as i remember […]

I recently met Mr. Ashcroft principal of Garstang Academy and he invited me to take a visit round the school with him. I have to say I was mighty impressed with the standard of work throughout.

For the first time this ceremony (raising the flag) was carried out at Kepple Lane. What a great venue  flowers,  trees, open space and silence. It was really so peaceful.

Honoured to represent the Town Council at the funeral of the former Mayor of Garstang.
