 | | Canal Boat Trip |
| | Hello everyone.
For few years John Essex has organised a canal boat trip. This year we were planning to do the Llangollen Canal on 23rd September for a week.
Time has meant that over the years our numbers has dwindled. I missed one when I was caring for my wife Sandra.
This year the numbers have reduced to make it impracticable. Before we call it off we wondered if anyone wants to join us. If so please let me know at lolw@btinternet.com.
It's good company, an enjoyable way to see the country.
Regards
Lol Williamson |

| | Tommy Hall |
| | Sad to announce the death of Tommy Hall on Wednesday 11th January aged 86 after a long illness. Tommy spent all his BT life in Dial House, 2VF,Pioneer & Dalton. He was for many years T.O.A. in Dalton & was one of the best people I had the pleasure to work alongside. A lovely bloke and very fair to all the staff. I know the funeral will be at Agecroft but I do not have any more details yet. I will put all details on the Notice Board as soon as I know them.
