NIgel Haines presents the proceeds of the evening's raffle to Chris Jones
At its recent meeting, Unity Lodge held a third degree ceremony and members were honoured to welcome as a surprise visitor, W Bro Chris Jones of the Freewheelers(Motorcycle)Lodge No.9991, in the Province of Lincoln.
W Bro Chris left Skegness on the 1st January and is about half way through a circa 7000 mile trek around the mainland UK coast in an attempt to raise a staggering £100,000, of which he has already raised about half, for the MCF and especially for Mental Health Awareness, a subject very close to his heart. In so doing, he is trying to visit as many Masonic Lodges as possible during his journey.
Following his toast, W Bro Chris described his journey to date and the reasons for embarking on such an epic one.
During his journey, W Bro Chris usually spends his nights in his tent but on this occasion bedded down in the comfort of our Past Masters room with breakfast being gratefully provided by our Caterer, Sarah.
