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.
