Co-Ordinator: Carrie Seaton
Convenor & General Secretary: Tony Buglass
Tony is a supernumerary Methodist minister living in Hexham in Northumberland. He retired there in 2013 after circuit appointments in Northumberland, North Yorkshire, and West Yorkshire. Along with the usual work of looking after churches and circuits he served for quite a few years as a distance education tutor, teaching biblical studies, and hospital and prison chaplaincies. Following a lifelong interest in aeroplanes, he told God he could really see himself as a RAF chaplain – after quite a few years he was finally invited to become chaplain to RAF Fylingdales, the one base for miles around which has no aircraft! He has also been chaplain to the RAF Air Cadets, so the aeroplanes have found their place. Now in retirement, he is active in preaching around the large rural Tynedale Circuit, involved ecumenically with other local churches, singing with a number of choirs, driving lots of miles doing deliveries all around the county for the local food bank, and being a Granda. He is a keen supporter of his wife Margi McAllister in her work as a children’s author, and travelling with her to the many places around the UK where they have family and friends.
