Despite poor weather during the week, the sun shone on the St Wilfrid Golfers again this year as they met to battle it out for the Cyril Green Trophy at Garforth Golf Club. In a keenly fought competition Chris Chappell won the trophy for a third time, having previously been champion in 2015 & 2016.
The golfers, Chris Chappell, Graham Fuller, Adrian Goldthorpe, Mel Harmer, Brian Mason, Stephen Till and Graeme Webber, were then joined by wives, friends and Brethren for a delicious celebratory dinner. The party of 28 had a very enjoyable evening in excellent company and look forward to meeting up again next August for this event which has been regularly held during the summer recess since its inception in 1955.

Thanks to everyone who was able to come along to take part or support the event, to Golf Secretary Brian and to Adrian for organising the event with Garforth Golf Club. I am also delighted to report that thanks to Adrian the green fees totalling £140 have very generously been donated to this year’s Master’s Charities, the Leeds Children’s Heart Surgery Fund and the William Merritt Centre.

 

Another St Wilfrid BBQ Success!

By Stefan • October 12, 2023
After the disappointment when poor weather caused the event to be postponed in July, the second attempt to BBQ in September proved very successful with around thirty members, family and friends attending. The BBQ was generously hosted by Adrian & Annie with Adrian also acting as Chief Chef. The delicious food was complemented by specially brewed beers, courtesy of our resident Master Brewer Andy and his assistant Linda, together with wines and soft drinks. Many thanks go out too to everyone for the generous donations of salads and desserts. Fine dining, good drinking and excellent company! Happily on this occasion, the English summer weather was kind! Again, many thanks to everyone who was able to support or contribute to this event with particular thanks to Adrian, Annie, Andy & Linda for all their hard work. Their and everyone’s generosity has raised a further £715 for the Master’s Charity. Fantastic! From an enjoyment, social and fundraising perspective – the BBQ really was once again a great success

Challenge met by St Wilfrid!

By Stefan • August 3, 2023
St Wilfrid Lodge were delighted to take up the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge again after their last outing in 2019 and despite the very mixed weather conditions the four walkers did themselves and the Lodge proud! It was an early start for Gerry, Joe, Paddy and Richard who left the Horton in Ribblesdale start point just after 7am. The Yorkshire Three Peaks includes Pen-y-Ghent , Whernside and Ingleborough . The walkers started their 25-mile route climbing first up Pen-y-Ghent then towards the Ribblehead Viaduct, up Whernside then down to Chapel le Dale, and finally up and down Ingleborough to finish back in Horton-in-Ribblesdale. Over 60,000 steps, twelve hours of grit & determination - a superb effort by everyone! Our heroes were raising funds for St George’s Crypt with which the Lodge has had a long association. Its not too late to contribute! Please support them generously using the link : www.justgiving.com/page/bhl-mason-1689178647402 All donations to support St George’s Crypt. Support was given en-route by the WM, Andy, his wife Linda, Jack & Stefan who ensured that they were fed and watered on their challenging task. Well Done Everyone!
