isolated members of the community who live in the parish area.
The club works on a non profit basis and its service is still based on volunteered assistance. Guests pay a minimal charge towards the cost of lunch which is provided, as well as transportation to and from the venue.
On arrival, the guests enjoy a welcome drink, followed by a wholesome two course meal followed
by copious amounts of tea or coffee, and of course, guests make new friends and have stimulating
conversation.
Legislation dictates that each volunteer of the organisation have to hold a current ‘Food Hygiene’ certificate which requires renewal every 3 years. An application on behalf of the club was made to The West Lancashire Freemasons’ Charity for £1,122 by one of its volunteers, David Hamilton-Hall, this being the amount required to enable all new training and refresher update course requirements to be carried out to meet the legislation and to enable volunteers at the club to be qualified for the next 3 year period and continue to offer this excellent service to the community.
The Reverend Dr Victoria Johnson of St Michael’s Church was delighted to receive a cheque from WLFC for the amount required which was presented by Jon Clipsham (Assistant Provincial Grand Master).
