The congregation marked the occasion after a recent evening service when William Knox (clerk of session) presented Dr. Kane with a generous gift cheque while Doris Knox presented Anne Kane with flowers. At an earlier function, gifts of jewellery, meal voucher and flowers were presented to Mrs. Kane from the PW group in appreciation of her work and support to that group. Kathleen Cunningham, recently appointed captain of First Aghadowey BB company, presented gifts to the couple at the BB parents’ night.
