My visit to the York and Hull District began in Ravenscar where the President and I were please to meet and thank some of the 'backstagers' who had worked so hard for the Methodist Conference in Scarborough this year.
They were a really dedicated crew and had some keen questions for us on the future shape of Conference.

On Saturday morning, whilst the President was playing at being a train driver, I was with the District Local Preachers at the very attractive Pocklington Church.
My theme was 'Communicating faith in ways that make sense' and I concentrated on relevant and rooted preaching; there was good participation by the 30/40 attending.
I was pleased to meet seasoned preacher Harry Smith (pictured below) and we thanked the Conference organiser Gordon Peacock (pictured with his wife) who was retiring after a good stint as District Local Preachers' Secretary.
We enjoyed a healthy lunch and the kitchen ladies kept us well supplied with tea and coffee!

I believe they do although it's not covered in Standing Orders! The MYC is now on the blog in cluding a photo of Rachel C.
