What an honour, as Chair of Evesham Festival of Words, to be asked to do the first reading (the Story of Eof and Egwin and the founding of Evesham Abbey) at the Together at Christmas Community Carol Service at All Saints Church on 7th December. Supported by HRH The Princess of Wales and The Royal Foundation, and hosted by the Lord Lieutenant of Worcestershire, Mrs Beatrice Grant, and with the backdrop of all the Christmas trees in the Church, this was a very special afternoon, bringing together individuals and organisations whose contributions have inspired and uplifted their communities.
