100th Birthday Celebration |
The Provincial Grand Master, Rt. WBro. Keith Beardmore, dropped in on a surprise visit at the 100th birthday party of Mrs Anne Bradshaw, widow of W Bro Les Bradshaw PPrDep G SwdB, Secretary of The Fylde Lodge. MMM No.296 for many years. |
The party was held at Cleveleys Masonic Hall near to where Anne lives. At 100 she still lives on her own with the assistance of carers. |
The PGM was accompanied by Mrs June Beardmore, W Bro Bill Ainsworth and his wife Denise, the Lodge Almoner, W Bro Roy Rhodes and his wife Roz. Anne had requested no presents or flowers but should guests insist a donation to Trinity Hospice would be most welcome. |
It was decided that Fylde Lodge would make such a donation and Lodge Treasurer Bill Ainsworth presented a cheque to the hospice for £100. |
As seen in the photographs family and friends had a splendid afternoon along with Anne cutting her celebration cake. |
