Farewell Archdeacon!

Our Archdeacon, Alan Hawker, will be retiring on 31st October 2010. As

Archdeacon of Malmesbury for over 12 years Alan has been responsible for

overseeing this benefice on behalf of the diocese and is well known to many of

us. There will be a special farewell service for Alan and Jen (his wife) at Bristol

Cathedral on Saturday 2nd October at 3:30pm. The service will be followed by

afternoon tea, speeches and a presentation.

That service is open to anyone who would like to attend and wish Alan and

Jen a fond farewell. However to assist with catering arrangements the diocese

wish to have an idea of numbers and have asked if people can let them know

by 15th September if they wish to attend. If you would like to go then either let

me know (Simon Drew – 891850) or email Helen Rees at the diocese directly

(helen.rees@bristoldiocese.org).

There will also be a collection and presentation to Alan on behalf of the wider

diocese. If any of you who knew Alan well want to contribute to that gift then I

have the details of how to do so – please ask.
