Coffee on the edge, boys

DON'T know about you but Stanage Edge, 1,500 feet above sea level, seems a long way to go to get a cup of coffee.

But you’d probably need one once you’d got there!

It’s coffees all round on Friday, September 28, when Sheffield’s Freemasonry in the Community stages what should be the ‘Highest Macmillan Coffee Morning’ in aid of the cancer support charity.

It’s open to all men and boys, regardless of whether you’re a mason, and you don’t have to roll up your trouser leg.

However, if you’d like to enter into the spirit if things the approved (but not essential) dress is white shirt, black bow tie along with rambling shorts and trousers and boots.

Tony Gregory, pictured left, chairman of Macmillan Cancer Support, will get the first cup of coffee at 11am.

If you’d like to take part (it’s a fiver for a mug, coffee and biscuit) call Tony Clarke on 0114 236 2775.

PS: It’s actually a gentle quarter mile stroll from the road.
