TOTS and teachers at Holmbridge Pre-School gathered to thank local masons for their generous donation.

The pre-school has begun taking two-year-olds for the first time and thanks to a £350 donation from the Holme Valley Masonic Lodge new equipment to help the younger toddlers can now be bought.

A cheque for £350 was presented by Brian Colwill and John Green of the Holme Valley Masonic Lodge to Karen Short of the pre school for equipment for the school's tots.
