We had a fantastic evening at the Installation of Office-Bearers and the Festival of St John, where Alan Sinclair was installed as the Right Worshipful Master.

A memorable night filled with tradition, fellowship, and celebration. Wishing Alan every success in the year ahead as he leads the lodge.

🎉Charity Event🎉
A big well done to Bro. Chris Cooney for organising yet another successful Saturday afternoon event, not only generating income for the Social Club, but also raising funds for the local charity!

Thanks to everyone involved — £350 has been raised and will be used to help deliver essential services to young people, families, and members of the community who attend the Bingham Community Centre.

Another generous act of charity supporting a much-needed service. Thank you to all who made it possible!
