MAYC reunion

To celebrate the 40th Year Anniversary since “Metamorphosis,” friends in the West Pennine Moors circuit have planned an MAYC reunion.  This will take place on Sunday 17th August at Rhyddings Methodist Church, Oswaldtwistle when the preacher at 10:30 will be Rev Keith Borwick.  This will be followed by lunch and then an afternoon of coming together and sharing our memories and stories.  It would be great to try to capture as many stories as possible, of what MAYC meant to you. Everyone is welcome, just let us know that you are coming so that we can ensure that we have sufficient food for everyone at lunch!

 AND FINALLY ( A Cautionary Tale !).

This seedy guy I know told me that, being a part-time burglar, the night before he'd broken into this place and stolen 2 pictures one worth £ 1.7 million pounds and an even better one worth £1.9 million.

Having them there in his car boot he insisted on showing them to me.

"Fred"...I said, "So it was you who broke into the estate agents’ window! ".
