GOLDEN JUBILEE OF THE CONCECRATION
OF THE PARISH CHURCH OF OUR LADY OF APPLEBY

I was invited by Father Alex, the Parish Priest, to attend the above which I greatly enjoyed. I was made extremely welcome by everyone present and it was good to see Cllr Lance Thwaites, The Mayor of Appleby and The Chairman of Eden District Council and his wife.

A beautiful service of Mass, conducted by The Rt Reverend Michael Campbell OSA, Bishop of Lancaster, in which I was delighted to take part.

Sadly because of pressure of time I was unable to join in the buffet lunch at Ormside Hall given by Mr and Mrs Fraser after the service.
