and even nearer Manchester International Airport.England

Jim has always been proud of the fact that he met Alan Turing twice. The truth is that he failed to realise just how important this man was, and missed the opportunity to ask more about him. Turing, ever the ideal supervisor, showed more interest in Jim's work than in discussing his own, especially as his major achievements were still a State Secret. Now, Andrew Hodge has set the record straight in a web-site dedicated to Alan Turing.

Rick takes to the air! Rick used to be an aerial photographer, Jim flew with the RAF (over 60 years ago!) Now, thanks to our friendly pilot Phil (right) we had a chance to relive old times. See the photos here!

AquaBox excites interest in Tickwere, Malawi. The AquaBox shown in the panel below, was sent to Malawi, following a special fund-raising effort to arrange delivery to this remote village in the north of the country It attracted so much interest in neighbouring villages that government and agency officials held a meeting to show the importance of pure water to the community. To see a full report on the meeting, click here.

Tickwere Nursery School in Malawi, and Aquabox.

We found out recently, that this school, the building of which has been part supported by Altrincham United Reformed Church, has a water problem. It seems water has to be carried in buckets a distance of two miles. It then has be boiled to make it safe.
Fortunately, our friends at Aquabox in Wirksworth have supplied us with a Community Water Filter Box, and we are in the process of arranging to send it to Malawi. We are extremely grateful for this gift. It now seems that it is not just the school that has this problem, but the whole village. Everyone will benefit.

A Family Reunion. Rick, Jacqui, Penny, cousin Susan and Robert Jim, Cora, Kate.

Our 80 min presentation "Today in the Holy Land" has been very successful locally, and has helped raise some much needed money for the enclosed town of Bethlehem. Another shared presentation, "West Bank Story" was able to include the Jewish perspective on the problems in Israel. We have decided not to try and reproduce these PowerPoint presentations here, because they are usually given with live commentary involving several people with recent knowledge of the Holy Land. And it varies, according to the prevailing political situation.
