It is available from Holme Valley News and Zebra Jewelery in Honley and READ bookshop in Holmfirth, priced £10.00. Copies may also be obtained though the post by contacting Honley Civic Society at honleycivicsociety@outlook.com Postage is an additional £2.50
John S Murray, 1931 – 2020
It is with deep regret that we announce the death on May 20th of one of our long serving members, John Murray. John provided talks and audio visual advice for many years and latterly although in failing health was a fully engaged member of the society. A fitting tribute can be found on the Village Trust website.
A letter from our Chairman Ken Jenkin,
There is a group of volunteers in the Holme Valley, contactable either by telephoning 01484 212056 or by sending an email to support@holmevalleymutualaid.co.uk; they are willing and able to help with shopping, collection of prescriptions, dog walking and so on, should you need this kind of support.
Ken
