recently donated the magnificent sum of \u00a3600 to assist St Margarets Somerset Hospice,<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">with their efforts to recover from lost funding during the Covid Lockdown.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">The Hospice were forced to close many of their retail outlets due to Covid, and consequently their income was seriously affected.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">Members of Tynte Lodge heard about the problem and visited the Hospice Retail and Logistics Centre<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">where they donated the entire proceeds of a recent dinner to celebrate<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">Burns Night.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">During the visit,<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">they learned that St Margarets are very keen to hear from anyone who might have large items of furniture etc.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">that can be donated to help with fundraising. Pick-up can be arranged by calling St Margarets on 01823 218313.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/tyntelodge7994.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ZDLZ0CoInYEZl6l9-4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"463\" height=\"331\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">(L to R) Mandy Poynter-Smith (Logistics), Tony Saunter (Tynte Lodge, Charity Steward), Emma Grant (Logistics),<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">Susan Kerber (Retail &amp; Commercial Manager) and Martin Poynter-Smith (Tynte Lodge, Worshipful Master).<\/p>\n\n<div align=\"center\">\n<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-size: small\"><b><u><i>Photograph: Les Pickersgill (Tynte Lodge Photographer)<\/i><\/u><\/b><b><u><i>\n<\/i><\/u><\/b><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p align=\"center\"><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"moz-forward-container\">\n<p align=\"center\">______________________________________<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">______________________________________<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-453","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"rttpg_featured_image_url":null,"rttpg_author":{"display_name":"Martin Poynter-Smith","author_link":"https:\/\/tyntelodge7994.co.uk\/index.php\/profile\/marty\/"},"rttpg_comment":0,"rttpg_category":null,"rttpg_excerpt":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tyntelodge7994.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/453","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tyntelodge7994.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tyntelodge7994.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tyntelodge7994.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tyntelodge7994.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=453"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tyntelodge7994.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/453\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tyntelodge7994.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=453"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
