SUSANNE Platt has been accepted as a Methodist local preacher after more than four years of study.
She was formally recognised at a service at St Andrew's Methodist United Reformed Church on Newmarket Street, Skipton.
She can now preach in any Methodist church, but her job and family commitments mean she will appear on the local “plan”, taking services in the Skipton and Grassington Methodist Circuit.
