ST OSWALD'S CHURCH, GRASMERE
Funeral Service of Elizabeth Braithwaite, MBE 1932 - 2010
I travelled with Bill Smith, the Mayor of Windermere to Grasmere. We sat with the Leader of the County Council and other dignitaries.
A very lovely service celebrating the life and achievements of this splendid lady, who did a very great deal for Grasmere and for the County.

Probation Board Meeting - Lime House, Wetheral
I was invited by Richard Rhodes, Chairman of Cumbria Probation Board to attend one of their Monthly meetings.
Annette Hennessy, whom I met at the AGM last year and other members of the Board were also there. I found the meeting most interesting but realised how little I really know about the Probation Service.
If I can find the time before my Year of Office ends I would like to spend some time with Annette learning more about the way the Organisation operates. It would also be nice if James Carr is able to accompany me as I am sure it would help him during his Year.
