The St Vincent de Paul Conference at the Sacred Heart Parish in St Ives recently organised the annual boat trip for the elderly and disabled who were collected from their homes and nursing homes by the SVP members and Fr Tom.
It was a fine sunny afternoon to enjoy the sail on the Lady Bird boat specially adapted for the elderly and disabled. The boat left Hartford Marina at 2pm sailing to Brampton and returning via St Ives to Hartford Marina at 4.30pm. During the sail tea and cakes were served to those on board by SVP members.
The President, Elizabeth Barker, said that it was a wonderful outing for so many who are unable to leave their homes unaided and a good time was had by all.
The highlight of the July meeting of the Norwich Circle of the Catenian Association held at the George Hotel in the city was the presentation (pictured right) of a scroll to John Flynn certifying his 50-year membership of the Association.

His career revolved around his work as a solicitor for Norwich Union (Now Aviva) insurance company.
