Cardiff Chameleons Swimming Club enable children and adults with special needs or learning disabilities to participate in competitive swimming competitions or just to swim for pleasure. Last year Croeso Lodge donated £500 to help them prepare for the upcoming Special Olympics in Los Angles.
We were delighted to recently receive these pictures from Chameleon member Andrew Williams who won gold and bronze medals at the event.

Despite support from Croeso and others, Andrew still had to raise almost £1000 to cover his and his carers expenses while in the USA. Huge congratulations to Andrew and everyone who took part in the event.

In loving memory of Bro Stanley Wakefield who was called to the Grand Lodge above on 5th July 2015. A true gentleman, a fine Freemason and a tireless servant of Croeso Lodge. Rest in peace Stan.

Don’t forget that the Tomas Martin bike ride is this Saturday (please see previous post for details). Good luck to all the riders taking part.

If you’re not riding you can still help out by becoming a Marshall, contact Bro Phil for details. Phil.Martin@nullrcdltd.co.uk
Failing that, why not simply turn up at some point en-route and cheer on the riders.
Your support would be most welcome.

W.Bro Robert Cozens presents a cheque for £500 to staff from Cruse Bereavement Care, Wales.

For most of us, bereavement will be the most distressing experience we will ever face. Grief is what we feel when somebody we are close to dies. Everyone experiences grief differently and there is no ‘normal’ or ‘right’ way to grieve.

Cruse Bereavement Care Wales’ vision is that all bereaved people should have somewhere to turn when someone dies. Grief is a natural process, but it can be devastating. Most people will cope with help and support from family and friends but for those who need additional specialist help, Cruse offers free confidential support for adults and children.
