CHILDREN’S<br />
HOSPICE<br />
GATHERS<br />
MOMENTUM<br />
MEMBERS <strong>of</strong> the Masters Assembly<br />
covering the 19 Lodges in the<br />
Huddersfield and District have been<br />
active in their support for a charity<br />
seeking to build a children’s hospice in<br />
the town.<br />
And at a Ladies After Lodge at<br />
Cambodunum Lodge No 3953, attended<br />
by around 90 Brethren and their partners,<br />
cheques totalling over £4000 were<br />
presented to Mandy Barwick, chief fundraiser<br />
for the <strong>West</strong> <strong>Yorkshire</strong> Forget-Me<br />
Not Trust Ltd.<br />
Cambodunum Master W Bro Howard<br />
Habron explained the breakdown <strong>of</strong><br />
cheques:<br />
One for £1500 was the proceeds <strong>of</strong> a<br />
sponsored skydive by two ladies from<br />
Lodge <strong>of</strong> Peace No 149.<br />
Another for £1500 was from the<br />
Masters Assembly and £1000 was<br />
presented by Concord Lodge No 4126,<br />
also £200 from Cambodunum Lodge,<br />
together with the £200 proceeds from<br />
the Festive Board raffle.<br />
Pam Luty, 52, wife <strong>of</strong> Lodge <strong>of</strong> Peace<br />
Master, Andrew Luty, and Lesley Senior,<br />
50, wife <strong>of</strong> Inner Guard Bro Paul Senior,<br />
were the two daredevils who did a<br />
tandem jump from 15,000 ft to raise their<br />
staggering four-figure total.<br />
The trust has received planning<br />
permission to build a specialist children’s<br />
respite centre at Bracken Hall which will<br />
32<br />
Britannia<br />
serve the Huddersfield and Halifax area<br />
and so it’s all systems go in the target <strong>of</strong><br />
raising some £3m for the project dream<br />
to become reality.<br />
Mandy, who outlined the trust’s aims<br />
in issue 34 <strong>of</strong> White Rose <strong>Masonic</strong> News,<br />
says she is "thrilled" at the support from<br />
Freemasons in Huddersfield and the<br />
surrounding areas.<br />
Earlier this year Colne Valley Lodge<br />
No 1645 handed over a cheque for £500<br />
and Norman Mellor, a Past Master at<br />
Colne Valley, and a prominent bass<br />
singer, has so far raised over £5000 from<br />
the sale <strong>of</strong> a CD on behalf <strong>of</strong> the trust.<br />
Thornhill Lodge No 1514, which<br />
shares the same Lindley <strong>Masonic</strong> Hall as<br />
Cambodunum and Concord lodges,<br />
handed over £200 in May and more<br />
presentations were expected at a Civic<br />
lunch for Freemasons and their partners<br />
hosted by mayor <strong>of</strong> Kirklees Clr Jean<br />
Calvert at Hudderfsfield Town Hall on 30<br />
October.<br />
W Bro Raymond Lodge, chairman <strong>of</strong><br />
Area Two for <strong>West</strong> <strong>Riding</strong> <strong>Masonic</strong><br />
Charities Ltd, said he thought the idea <strong>of</strong><br />
furthering charitable aims and supporting<br />
BONDED BY<br />
Taking a breather following their exertions . . . Pam Luty and Lesley Senior<br />
good causes at a Ladies After Lodge was<br />
an admirable way for people who gave<br />
the money being able to meet those who<br />
benefit from it.<br />
