Newsletter No 4
1. Please contact me
Since most OPCs subscribe to this list, I'd like to use this as the place to ask ALL OPCs to contact me. I can then try to make contact with the OPCs who don't respond to this request, as it's time I updated my records once more. It would be useful to have notification of
(a) any changes in email addresses
(b) a contact telephone number, in case of email problems
(c) an indication of whether you are transcribing, or just doing look-ups
(d) in connection with (c) whether or not you'd appreciate help with transcribing (I have several contacts who are willing to transcribe, but don't yet want to take on a parish)
2. OPC News
We have gained three OPCs since the last newsletter. Bill O'Reilly has agreed to take on St Anthony in Roseland, Geoff Ford has volunteered for Feock and Sharon Symons will add Bradock/Boadoak to her group. Thanks to all of them.
It's also likely that we have a volunteers for Fowey, Falmouth, Mylor and Warbstow.
I have been unble to contact Carole Luscombe, OPC Colan
