From the editor
Once again this edition of In Touch reflects the wide range of activities undertaken by members of St Columba’s parish, both locally and further afield. Thanks to all the contributors, and especially to John Moor who has produced a short history of the parish for us. It would be good to hear other memories of the parish from long standing parishioners. Perhaps someone has photos of the early church, or the building of the current one? If we have enough material, the In Touch team would be happy to consider producing a booklet about the church and its history. Thanks also, as always, to the editorial team, for all their hard work.Tricia Steel
