The Link Newsletter is prepared for printing during the second week of the month and, as such, news of The Revd. Linden Fletcher’s departure came too late to be included in the main body of the magazine. The following was announced at church services on the 18th November. The appointment has been announced of Revd. Linden Fletcher as Vicar of Llanfair Caereinion, Llanllugan and Manafon in the Archdeaconry of Montgomery and the Diocese of St Asaph. Her five and a half years as Priest-in-charge of Ringshall, Great Bricett, Barking with Darmsden, Battisford, Somersham, Flowton, Offton and Willisham have seen the drawing-together of two former benefices. She has enjoyed the very well-planned central base at Willisham Rectory and gives thanks to God for unstinting support from the nearly sixty members of Parochial Church Councils and fellowship with Christians of all denominations in our villages. Her last Sunday here, to be arranged, may be as early as 3rd February. Ian Dickson writes on behalf of the churchwardens of Offton, Somersham, Flowton and Willisham The three Parishes near Montgomery in Wales are gaining a Vicar and we are losing ours. Linden has been the Incumbent in our Parishes for five years, at a time of radical changes in the overall church management structure and greatly increased requirements from national legislation. The profession of Parish Priest requires many skills especially with the responsibility of eight Parishes. Numerous people have been helped by Linden through times of difficulty and distress and this is but one of her many duties that will be greatly missed. We wish Linden well in her new position.
