Following the recent devastating floods in
the Calder Valley, the normal meeting place
for

at New Ebenezer Methodist Church, St James
Road, Halifax HX1 1YS. Entry is via the front

will take place from 7pm as normal.
After presiding and preaching at the morning service at St Hilda’s Church, Hartlepool in November, The

to the annual festival in honour of St Hilda. The Bishop is seen speaking to M0PAR in Malvern, with
G8DST operating and G3NUA watching. Using 40 and 2m, contact was made with some 140 stations
in the UK, Belgium and Holland.
