Brian House Children's Hospice
 
I received a phone call on Friday Morning 21st December from the Fylde Lodge of Mark Master Masons Charity Steward telling me he had been speaking to our Right Worshipful Provincial Grand Master Keith Alan Beardmore. The gist of his conversation was that he had some presents he had obtained and that he was going to Brian House a local Children's Hospice to deliver them for Christmas. Our Provincial Grand Master a supporter of the Mark Website, and tells us so at every opportunity, asked him to get hold of Ernie Gavan and take him with him to take some photos and post them on the website.

So, Ernie Gavan and one of Santa's little helpers sorry Worshipful Brother Peter Green Fylde Lodge of Mark Master Masons Charity Steward arrived at Brian House with one of the biggest bears I've seen and a bag full of goodies. We were met in Brian House by Staff Nurse Shauna Wilson who thanked us and relieved us of the goodies. W.Bro. Green gave a quick explanation of the charity work done by the Mark Degree and West Lancashire in particular. After a photograph or two and more thanks we said goodbye wishing them all a merry Christmas and made our way home a worthy job well done.
