Talked to Michael Creggs at weekend and got someinformation about cleaning headstones.
He says to soak the stone in water and then apply Parazone and leave it to work for 30 minutes.
Then scrub and when finished wash down the stone thoroughly. Good to see some regular holidaymakers returning to Creggs this week.
Steve Peake and Kate in Uganda will be delighted to hear there was great response to the sale of Badge Worlds kind gift of badges, pins and keyrings for Kates hopes of upgrading the Dormitory in the Orphanage.Thursday sales 37.85 Euros. Friday 197.60 Euro. Saturday 227 Euro and on yesterday 220.46 Euro. Total so far 682.91 and still some remaining and some outloaded.
Think that we should organize a function or two in the parish for the project and it needs to be done soon so that Kate can supervize the money collected. Another fisherman who visits Shannonbridge Terry Smith today asked for more information on the project. The best information seems to be in the series of letters from Kate found on this wem and in the photographs sent back.Maybe for handiness our webmaster might create a Kate file of letters and photos and progress on fundraising. If you decide to have a fundraiser for this work you can forward any money raised to Maureen Thornhill. Shannonbridge, Athlone, Ireland who will bank it in Kates account so she can draw it down and use it in Uganda.
