ACCRINGTON UPDATE

Following the October meeting Mike Neild organised a "Call my Bluff" session which proved very popular and produced some very witty descriptions and replies. Prior to the November meeting the Circle held its Annual Mass for Deceased Brothers and also the War Dead as this was held on the anniversary of Armistice Day. The celebrants were Fr David Yates and Fr Tim Curtis who are seen on the attached photograph with Circle President Andrew Snape. 

 

 

Following the Mass around 70 Brothers, wives, friends and visitors enjoyed an excellent dinner which was followed by a talk entitled "From Priesthood to Engineering" given by the President of Broughton-in-Craven Circle, Franklin Schutz. This was an account of his life as a priest and afterwards as an engineering representative. The December meeting was followed by Christmas Dinner which around 70 people enjoyed. The after-dinner entertainment was provided by the Circle Choir which in effect was a rehearsal for the Provincial Carol Concert to be held later that week in Garstang. Also in December the Circle Choir joined in the Carol Concert which was a very pleasant evening on the run-up to Christmas. Later in December a party of around 30 members, wives, children and grandchildren enjoyed a visit to the pantomime "Cinderella" in Blackburn.
