Good afternoon everyone,
We heard this morning that Nell Jones, a 14 year old from Goostrey sadly died in the bombing and so tomorrow evening (evening of 25th May) we are holding a prayer vigil at 7.30pm for all victims of the atrocity together with a simple Communion Service. There will be an opportunity for candles to be lit and thoughts and prayers written.
Everyone welcome.

One Goostrey resident, whose house is connected to the Lower Withington exchange, has already switched to fibre broadband and has seen their download speed improve to about 9 mbs which is much better than they received before but still well short of the government definition of superfast broadband ie. 24 mbs.
Please let me know how you get on if you do switch to fibre so I can share your experience with other residents.
A reminder: The Government has announced a Better Broadband Subsidy Scheme which is aimed at premises which cannot access broadband speeds in excess of 2mbs. There are a small number of premises in Goostrey Parish which may be eligible for the scheme.
