All are welcome.NewsThe folk from Dalton have some sad but probably not unexpected news for the older generation especially the ladies. One of our senior ex members, who moved away quite a few years ago, has died. Mrs Marjorie Franks, wife of the eminent J T Franks has passed away after suffering deteriorating health. Both she and Tom were living in a Baptist run sheltered housing / Retirement home in Northampton. They moved to Northampton to be near their daughter Pat and her family and after coping well on their own until they were in their 90’s Pat got them settled into the home last year. Late News I have just heard that Tom has also died, passing away within a month of Marjorie’s death.
