On Wednesday 8th January the Provincial Grand Master attended a meeting of the Hale Branch of Royal British Legion based in the Child of Hale inn, which is in Hale. At the meeting the PGM presented a Cheque for £250 to Tony Wainwright who is the Secretary of the Liverpool Pals memorial fund. The money was raised at Garston Masonic Hall during a Sunday lunch on Remembrance Sunday, following the wreath laying ceremony at Garston Cenotaph. | |
Sarah Lowe who provided the entertainment declined payment and donated her fee, which was added to the monies raised. This allowed West Lancs Mark Masons to donate £250. | |
The Chairman of The Hale Branch Bill Sergeant welcomed the PGM and other Mark Masons which included W Bro Derek Horrocks the PGM’s Representative for Garston and the organiser of the Sunday lunch, W Bro Ken Baxter, who is the Tuscan Group Deputy Charity Representative, and W Bro Colin Svenson who proposed the donation. |
