I remember the garden party/summer fayres St. James had many years ago. I spoke to Keith Woodhouse a few weeks ago, told him about the nice comments made about him on this site of the time he spent as curate at St. Chads and St.James, he has fond memories of the youth club he ran and all the young people who were members. It will be 50 years in June since Keith entered the Priesthood and a special service is being held for him on June 10th at 7.00.p.m. at the church Keith often takes services at where I attend. Holy Trinity Church, The Avenue, Washington Village, Washington. All are welcome so if anyone who remembers Keith would like to celebrate with him make a note in your diary.
