Received an invitation from the Provincial Grand Lodge of Antrim Masonic Golf Committee to join with them down in the Sports Centre, University of Ulster, Coleraine when they planned to present their 2025 charity cheque to support the ongoing work of The Causeway Giants Wheelchair Basketball Club.
The Provincial Grand Master of Antrim Right Wor Bro John S. McLernon was in hand with one of his Assistants Right Wor Bro Allen Mercer were both present to present the cheque on behalf of the golf committee.
The Golf Committee chairman Ian Henry was in attendance along with the other committee members Robert Wilson, Raymond Lynn, Graham Todd and Joe McKeown.
Before the cheque was presented, we were able to watch part of a juniors training session and once the cheque was handed over, we were able to watch the seniors in action. Our monies were greatly appreciated as they will go a long way in meeting the monthly costs arising from the usual weekly meeting in the university facilities, ideally suited to their particular needs.
