NEWS ABOUT THE TRUST

A meeting of the Aquila Music Trust was held on Friday 27th July 2007.  Members talked about:

• the progress of CD sales of "Open the Door' and  "May the Lord Bless You"
  
• the success of the Fareham Parish Concert
  
• future live performances
• plans for the 2008 "Watch the Sunrise" CD
• applications for the Friends of John Glynn
  

Aquila is the Latin name for "eagle" and Father John chose the name, because of a number of coincidences.

• John's family origins are mostly in Ireland but he did find evidence in North Wales of a Glynn family with a  coat of arms sporting a spread eagle. 
• His family home was in Eagle Lane. 
• John's father is a retired employee of Barclays Bank whose emblem is also a spread eagle.  After he retired, Mr. Glynn built a small boat which he named "Aquila". 
• The Trust banks with Barclays and the account is held in their premises, called  "Aquila House". 
• John's patron saint is Saint John the Evangelist, whose symbol is also the eagle.
