Advanced notice.

Old Michaelian and presently Archdeacon of Scandinavia and Germany, The Venerable David Ratcliff, has agreed to preach and take the service for the fiftieth anniversary of the Old Michaelians next year on and Sunday 26th of October 2003. David was one of St Michael's organists. He also was responsible for "note bashing" our chairman to learn the treble solo in "Hear My Prayer."
David was the first OM to be ordained. (Our chairman wonders which was the more trying job!) David has suggested, and your committee fully approve, that he would like as many OM clergy as possible to take an active part in the service. Please note this in your diary now. He has further suggested that we could have a "formal" choir.
This would involve people telling us that they are prepared to sing and attend a rehearsal after the AGM and before the evening celebrations. If, in principle, you or any of your family who will be attending the weekend, would like to sing would you please let Michael Catterick know and what part you can sing. It will not be as good as we did when we were younger, but it would be a challenge!
