SOMETHING EXTRA SPECIAL ONCE AGAIN, within the mighty Province of #ProvincialGrandLodgeCornwall. Welcome to 'Brother Rowan' Guide Dog and companion extraordinai...re at St. Andrew Lodge No:1151 meeting in Tywardreath. http://www.pglcornwall.org.uk/lodges As numerous Brethren gathered from across the County for an Initiation ceremony on Thursday this week, the majority of visiting Brethren were met with a very special surprise. Rowan an extremely intelligent Guide Dog who supports his severely sight impaired companion, Worshipful Brother Mark Hunter. http://www.guidedogs.org.uk Rowan is prepared prior to each Lodge meeting in an exceptional manner by Worshipful Brother Mark, who has made him his own unique morning suit complete with Collar, Apron and Jewels. The skills, dedication and patience of both is incredible to watch as a man who is almost completely blind dresses his companion with remarkable sight limited abilities. Unfortunately, the candidate for Initiation was unable to attend at the eleventh hour, due to a very important and unexpected family situation. However, St. Andrew Lodge members were not deterred and proceeded to carry out a first class demonstration which clearly displayed exceptional teamwork. Throughout the entire meeting Rowan behaved impeccably, you honestly would not have realised he was there, other than the occasional fleeting glimpse of a tail wagging as he sat patiently under the secretary's feet. What a star and a genuine privilege to witness the supreme intelligence of such a magnificent animal. Congratulations St. Andrew Lodge, for the extremely warm welcome your visitors received, an excellent demonstration ceremony carried out without any fuss (despite the sudden change to the agenda) and an excellent festive board. Above all a sincere thank you on behalf of all the visiting Brethren which included a Past Assistant Provincial Grand Master, for your hospitality and friendship. We look forward to attending again soon for another evening with yourselves and Rowan. 10/10 Additional information: If you know of anyone suffering from sight loss or dealing with sight impairment please visit or recommend the following: https://www.isightcornwall.org.uk
