Scout Dinner
I have had the privilege of knowing Fr Hugh Bearn for almost 30 years through various roles at St Anne’s Church in Tottington, most recently as Churchwarden.

Presentation of the Union Flag
On Monday 31st March, a Union Flag, funded by Mr Nicholas Edmiston, was presented to the Maison de France by St Paul’s Church on behalf of the British population of Monaco.
