Gift to Church

Our year as Mayor and Mayoress of Wolverhampton was simply brilliant, we have some lasting memories of the events and the functions we attended on behalf of the city.
But we also tried very hard to help where we could a range of both individuals and organisations. I think that everyone now knows that we have provided a belt bucket and sling for the Royal British Legion so that the standard bearers can carry their emblems more comfortably.

We also have commemerated our Mayoral year by investing in an Oil Set for St Thomasīs Church. We have been very well served by St Thomasīs and we wanted to recognise the partnership we established with Rev John Points who acted as the Mayorīs Chaplain during our year.

We were advised that the Church would appreciate an `Oil Setī so we have purchased one to assist in Church Services. Both Mary and I have been very fortunate to belong to the Church.

We were married in the Church and the family have a long record of belonging to the Parish Church.
