Promoting the Fraternity across the World
On Friday 28th July 2017, members of the newly formed Cumbria Chapter of the Widows Sons Masonic Bikers Association rode down to Mold in Northern Wales to attend the Widows Sons 2017 National Rally and to receive their official Charter.
There were so many things different about the emergency chapter meeting held at Bryn Masonic Hall. Firstly, proceedings commenced at 8:30 on a Saturday morning with a hearty breakfast. The chapter was meeting miles away from its official home. The car park was full of motorcycles. Many of the companions wore their regalia over motorcycle leathers. No festive board followed the meeting, and the companions ‘got on their bikes’ and rode away. Unusual to say the least, but perfectly normal once you know the story.
Another successful event raising money for charity, in this case Lifelites. Donations are still coming in, but we hope to hit the £8k mark.
Well done to Leslie Fraser for organising the event again this year, and to all who gave their time to complete the event, and everyone who donated and supported us.·
The Durham Chapter of The Widows Sons was formed on 1st January 2015 by members of Freemasons Lodges within the Province of Durham. They are the Durham Chapter of The Widows Sons of Great Britain.
