| For a number of years, Burnley Circle has sponsored an award for Contribution to the Community at Blessed Trinity RC College. This year the award was won by Hope Hutchison, daughter of Bro Andrew and Christine. The photo shows Hope receiving her award from Circle President, Michael Jones. |
The Catenian Association is an international body of proudly Catholic laymen and permanent deacons who meet at least once a month in local groups called Circles, to enjoy each other's company and thereby strengthen their family life through friendship, faith and fun! It is open to practising Catholic laymen from the age of 18 years. Many of the Circles’ activities involve the members’ wives and families.

Broughton brothers have 'a wee dram'!?
Eight Broughton brothers spent a great evening tasting whisky at the Rendezvous Hotel Skipton last Thursday 10th November.
The evening was organised by Wright's Wines Skipton.
They tasted seven Speyside malts and were told how each distinctive flavour is achieved.
The '100%' was particularly nice but not cheap.
A fantastic evening thanks to Chris Nash for organising it.

Longridge Walking Group at The Church Cottage Museum, Broughton
Barry Fitzgibbon invited a select number from the Longridge Circle Walking Group to spend an evening feasting in Victorian style at The Cottage Museum. The food was varied from "Preston" shrimps and salmon to hams with pickles and soup accompanied by soda bread. The main course was a magnificent Game Pie accompanied by a Preston delicacy known as "Butter" Pie.
After a tour of the museum dessert was served consisting of Custard Pie, Jelly, Blancmange, Scones with homemade jam and local cream, not forgetting the Goosnargh Cakes.
To round off the night our hosts served Aniseed Balls, Coltsfoot and Cinder Toffee all allegedly favourites in Victorian Preston.
