Comments: October 4, 2010 Dear Readers, I am pleased to let you know that we have recovered about 5year and 6months worth of our lost Guestbook messages. These I have pasted into a PDF File which Father Pat Sherlock has kindly uploaded onto our website. Thank you Father Pat. These cover the period from initial opening on 09DEC2000 up to 28AUG2006. The messages were discovered by Ted Carless of Shrigley Association, who kindly sent them to me in case I could make use of them. Thank you so much Ted. You can view this PDF file by appending - messages0006.pdf - to the website address line after the final slash. Sadly there is no way we can recover the later messages. I feel sure many of you will be delighted to be able to read these messages and you may like to renew contact with some of the authors. Best wishes JW
Sad News E G Higgins (Shrigley past pupil) has just phoned to say that his sister, Margaret, passed away peacefully at 8.30 this morning in the presence of her parents and other family members. May she rest in peace! Fr Patrick Sherlock SDB (GBR Provincial Secretary)
Comments: Dear Readers, I would like to draw your attention to the news recently added to the Front Page of this Website, giving a summary of the results of the Scholarship Appeal for 2008/9. Some really positive results were acheived with the funds, we sent to the three West African Countries: Liberia, Monrovia and Nigeria. Many thanks for your kind generosity, John Ward, on behalf of National President and all on National Council.
