Freemasons from Horncastle have welcomed members of the town’s Rugby Club to the town’s Masonic Centre on Banks Street to give them £1,000 – £500 towards all-weather jackets to keep their substitutes warm on the side-lines and a further £500 to spend on mobile lighting to make winter training easier.
The £500 for jackets came from members of the Olive Union Lodge, and the lighting money from the Horncastle Masonic Centre and Horncastle Masonic Benevolent Fund, both of which gave £250.
As well as members from Olive Union Lodge, others from Bolingbroke Castle Lodge, the Round Table Lodge of Lincolnshire, Rudyard Kipling Lodge and Sir Joseph Banks Daylight Lodge were all there to help entertain the rugby players, who were treated to a tour of the building and a brief talk on Freemasonry before retiring to the bar.
