News from St John’s February has been a very quiet month. Iris Hickman, after 6 weeks in plaster, has now had the plaster removed. As it was such a nasty fall, she still has to take thing easy and is gradually getting her mobility back. Hopefully we will see her back in church in the very near future. Our continued best wishes to her and Terry, who, Iris says, is going to sign up for a Cordon Bleu cookery course! Ash Wednesday this year coincides with St David’s Day. During Lent, the Flower Guild will be collecting money for those who wish to purchase an Easter lily or lilies in memory of loved ones. Envelopes will be in church and the lilies are a minimum of £3 per lily. Please hand the completed envelopes to a member of the Flower Guild. The Magazine monies are now due. If you have not already paid, please pay the person who delivers them to you as soon as possible. I have been given to understand that some people are trying to get a committee together to continue the 200 Club. Details have to be confirmed but get your money and your cards ready, as new cards will now not be issued. Watch this space!! Finally, a very sad farewell to Father Craig as he goes off to pastures new. He has worked very hard in the Parish and with the schools. He will be sadly missed by us all. Porthcawl’s loss is Wick’s gain. Our very best wishes to him and his family in their new Parish. Diane Jackson
