The Provincial Grand Master Kevin Hicks and the members of the Mark Masons of Cornwall are absolutely delighted to receive the news that our MBF are presenting the Merlin Centre with a new Mini Bus and to fully equip their new sensory room on the 11th May 2017. The Mini Bus will be available for all to view at the Provincial meeting on the 12th May 2017 between 10 and 12 at the Atlantic Hotel.
It is the MBF’s hope that the provision of this mini bus and equipment, which has been financed entirely by Mark Freemasons, will enable Cornwall MS sufferers to be offered high class local treatment and to alleviate the stresses and strains of having to travel long distances.
