Another year has passed, and we look to the commemoration of those who have served and sacrificed in wars and conflicts around the world. I know the people of Kirton will do us proud again and stand in respectful reflection. I will certainly be there, and I hope you will too. The theme of remembrance is spoken in a very thought-provoking way by Father Paul on Page 18.
As is always the case at this time of year, we are full to the brim of events! St Peter and St Paul’s Church have so many things happening between now and Christmas including Wreath Making which is always such fun and you bring something beautiful home to boot! The Methodist Church are holding their Christmas Fayre on Saturday 29th November as are the Kirton Scout Aid Charity Shop (at Kirton Youth Centre). Go to both and pick up some Christmas gifts!
My colleague Andrew concludes his journey down memory lane with the conclusion of the Kirton News story in our 60th year! I must thank him for writing so eloquently and especially for mentioning my Dad who we lost nearly 8 years ago. His love for Kirton and his pride in community service certainly rubbed off on me!
As Barry, our resident foodie has found out, I’m always happy to receive content for the magazine! Anything from book reviews to recipes and puzzles! Please contact me at Editor@kirtonnews.co.uk.
Take care of yourselves and try and keep warm!
Rachael.
