This week, we had the pleasure of visiting Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team for their 60th birthday party, and we were pleased to see the new boat being put into service
The appeal for funding the boat started a little while ago, and we , in conjunction with the Masonic Charitable Foundation were proud to pledge an amazing £13,396 , an incredible 17% of the cost for this amazing venture.
Also, Mrs Lightburn, widow of one of our late Deputy Provincial Grand Masters
Captain Peter Lightburn, kindly donated £2,000, in memory of her late husband.
The boat will be used to transport the team across Ullswater , to access the mountains at the east side of the lake, as vehicle access is extremely restricted.
A fantastic addition to an awesome team!
