Dear All,

I hope all is well. Please see the enclosed flyer – CLCK HERE - for the CPG Pilgrimage to Walsingham being organised by or Westminster Provincial Andrew Natrass. Please circulate it far and wide to members under your care.

I certainly intend to go. Andrew wants to get an idea of numbers so that he can prepare accordingly.
