Weekend Programme

FOREWORD
"It’s a great joy to be able to write the foreword for this year’s Feast Programme.
The first weekend after I was made Priest in Charge of Hampsthwaite was the Feast and I remember showing willing by gathering with many others at Brookfield Green and then walking down Dale Close, along Hollins Lane until we reached the Village Green—I wondered what I had come to, not least because the sun was shining and in Scotland whenever you try to organise things it inevitably rains!
Since then I have shared many things with the people of this village—some happy and some sad, but it continues to be a privilege to be part of your lives.
I commend to you the Feast 2002 and ask that you have a great time, not forgetting that in this Jubilee year our Feast Queen and her attendants will be with us at the Ecumenical service on the Sunday morning.”
Garry Hinchcliffe (Priest in Charge of Hampsthwaite Parish Church), June 2002
