……………………..
A) Bill Mitchell (W.R. Witchell) died on 7 Oct. His funeral will be on
Mon 19 Oct at 11 am at Skipton Parish Church A big church will be
needed!! He grew up in Skipton.
We will be having a memorial service for him at St John’s
Methodist Church in Settle at a time yet to be fixed.
Nearly all of you receiving this will either know him, and have tales
to tell about him, or have heard of him, or read some of his books…
There are lots of good writings about him elsewhere, so I needn’t say
much
We will miss him at St John’s Methodist Church.
Craven Conservation Group are pleased he was a member and will miss
him, and enjoyed hearing tales of his deer studies.
I am pleased, that he was able to go to the Malham Chapel 150 year
celebrations just last month
http://rainforest-save.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/malham-chapel-150-years-old.html
and recount tales of when he went there to preach so many years ago.
Here are pictures of him at Settle Stories in 2012
http://rainforest-save.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/tea-and-tales-with-bill-mitchell-and.html
He used to receive these events email, and sent some appreciative replies..
May be it is that care to detail that made him dear to so many.

B) On Thursday 22nd October we are having our One World Week Talk and
“Locally Sourced,” = LOAF meal.

previously announced.) The topic is on

Studies department, and
is/ has been advisor to the Bishop of Bradford)
