Promoting the Fraternity across the World
Andy Palmer was installed as Master of United Service Lodge No. 3124 for the second time in October 2016. He wanted to do something to assist the lodge’s charitable work during his year in office. In a moment of madness he decided to sign up for the London to Brighton Cycle ride. To say he is a keen cyclist is stretching the point – a ‘Sunday’ cyclist is nearer the mark.
At the Teddy Bears Picnic at Hewlett Court on Saturday July 1st, Bury District Charity Steward, Steve Holland, joined the Provincial Grand Master, Sir David Trippier, and Lady Ruth Trippier, in presenting a cheque to the Parkinsons UK Bury Support Group.
FREEMASONS from the Bordon, Alton and Petersfield masonic centres held a charity-presentation evening in celebration of the 300th year of the United Grand Lodge of England.
The evening was held at the Bordon Masonic Centre, in Woolmer Way, on June 12 and, said organisers, was well attended by local charity and community representatives.
