The May meeting was presided over by Fr Michael Silver at
his church in Letchworth. The Chapter celebrated the 40th
anniversary of Derrick Silver's membership of the Guild. Fr
Silver is Derrick's son but as he stated in his homily it
seems strange that he (Derrick) calls me Father and I call
him Brother!
A party was held at the Silver's home after the Guild Office
and Benediction had been sung. Derrick said he owes his
serving all to his teacher Brother Ron Pike who played the
organ at the Office. Ron is the Chairman of this chapter and
the PG Councillor was there to add his congratulations

Brother
Gordon Laing of St. Joseph of Arimathaea Chapter, Portsmouth

Congratulations and well done
