Derek writes, “It is 20 years since my wife Judith and I moved from Wilmslow to Brightwell-cum-Sotwell and last year I will have completed 20 years as organist in the village. There needs to be recognition that, at 85, my ability to continue for another 20 years is unlikely! We are greatly impressed by our 12 grandchildren’s achievements at school and university, seven of them already having graduated in various subjects. My brothers Michael (Chatham 51) and Peter (Chatham 58) continue to flourish in Wolverhampton and Grange-over-Sands, respectively.”
