St Wilfrid Lodge Christmas Appeal

Stephan Kurth • November 16, 2020

Brethren, at the Zoom meeting last Thursday, everyone present agreed to support the St George’s Crypt Christmas Appeal this year.     The suggestion is that each member makes their donation via the Just Giving page that we have set up (see below). 

 In addition, one of our Brethren has said he will double the amount that is raised!

We have not met since Scroll Night and have not been able to make our usual weekly contributions to the Alms Fund and the Senior Steward’s Raffle.   I hope that in lieu of this you will feel able to make a generous donation to help the Crypt.

Like all charities they are having their work cut out to cover their extensive costs.   All their community and corporate fundraising has stopped and they are getting busier and busier as the weather closes in.   To this end, the meeting decided to put all our charitable effort into supporting the Crypt, including the usual Christmas card appeal.   

I do hope that I can count on your support.   

Please make your donation (including Gift Aid permission) by using our Just Giving page.

If you prefer to use a cheque please make it payable to BHL Mason and I will make the transfer on your behalf.   

Please also let me know if you wish the Crypt to claim Gift Aid.   

With very grateful thanks at this difficult time

Yours sincerely and fraternally

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!
