Lodge of Good Intention No. 6927 helps Barnstaple Rugby
Football Club – Junior Section
Barnstaple Rugby Football Club –
Junior Section is made up of
youngsters aged from 6 to 16 who
turn up, regardless of weather,
every Sunday Morning through the
winter to improve their Rugby
skills as well as their fitness.
Their enthusiasm means that
their equipment has been used
‘enthusiastically’ and needs
replacing. Barnstaple Freemasons
have already presented the club
with £400 but the importance of
ensuring that young people
should be encouraged in their
sport was recognised by
Freemasons all over Devon who
united to provide a donation of
an additional £1,000 for this
thriving group.
