At W. Bro. John Cooper’s  funeral V.W. Bro Paul Snape was talking to John’s  niece who is connected to Guys Farm and that they were concerned that with the number of organisations and general public using the farm. That they really needed use a Defibrillator but could not afford one. So V.W. Paul Snape decided to see if the Mark degree could help. Scorton Mark and Preston RAM both contributed and Province very kindly made up the difference.
