Freemasons from Horncastle’s Olive Union Lodge have welcomed members of the town’s Rugby Club to the Horncastle Masonic Centre to give them £500 towards all-weather jackets to keep their substitutes warm on the side-lines.
And members from Bolingbroke Castle, Round Table Lodge of Lincolnshire, Rudyard Kipling Lodge and Sir Joseph Banks Daylight Lodge watched as the Horncastle Masonic Centre and Horncastle Masonic Benevolent Fund each contributed a further £250, bringing the total to £1,000, which the club has pledged to spend on mobile lighting to enhance their winter training schedule.
The guests were treated to a tour of the centre and a brief talk on Freemasonry before retiring to the bar, to celebrate in a tradition which both Freemasons and Rugby player are more than familiar!
A spokesman for the rugby players said: “Instead of training we had the honour of being invited to the Masonic Lodge where we gratefully received a donation. We couldn’t be more thankful, what a wonderful evening.”
