Friends of St. Katharine's 2012
Hello once again! We've had a couple of meetings this year and we've decided to continue with our fund-raising with Roger's blessing. This time we are endeavouring to buy a new computer, keyboard, printer and also a dongle, whatever one of those is!.
Now a request. Have anybody got a tractor with a seated trailer or a pair of horses with a seated cart? We've had an idea and wondered if we could borrow or hire one, with driver. Please get in touch on 01204 468716 and ask for Sylvia.
Now that we are back in the swing of things, we'll be keeping you updated on our other ideas nearer the time.

Register searches
Every month we get enquiries about an entries in our parish records, family tree questions and many more and we are very happy to help where we can. As you can imagine this takes time to search things out properly and thoroughly and it falls to a very small number of volunteers. Manchester Diocese charge a fee for such searches and the PCC now feel the time has come to request this fee before the search is done. The fees are forwarded to Manchester Diocesan Board of Finance and not kept by St Katharine's Church but the PCC feel we can make a real contribution to the work of our Diocese through this channel. We do hope you understand - good luck with your searches and do e-mail us if you need our help. The fee is £19 per hour. The registers are kept at the Lancashire Records Office in Preston 01772 533039 - (closed Mondays) so give them a call if you are thinking of calling in.

Is there anybody there......?
As one of the website administrators, I often wonder if there is anyone out there in the wide world reading the articles and updates which I put on the website each month. Well…the answer is Yes! In fact, we have thousands of visitors - 2,183 in the last year. Thanks to Stuart Howard who maintains the “back-side” of the website, and who has produced a detailed report of activity for the last 12 months, I was able to see who, where, when, what, and how often, our visitors access the information and news.

Friends of St Katharine's
A new group has been set up in the village and we hope to raise money to help with the repair of the east wall and window at St Katharine's Church. Work needs to start soon and will be costly, so we are holding various events throughout the year under the banner of "Friends of St Katharine's". Please support us as much as you can.
