Lincoln Freemasons share £1,000 between two charities after night out

More than 100 Freemasons, their ladies, and guests made sure the latest Ladies Festival organised by Lincoln’s Ashlar Lodge was an evening to remember.

The evening’s raffle raised £735, which was rounded up to £1,000 by the event organisers and shared equally between the Nomad Trust and the Freemasons’ Teddies For Loving Care appeal, which provides teddy bears as a comfort to children experiencing tough times in hospital.

Bookings are now being taken for next year’s event, which will take place at the now traditional Lincoln Hotel venue on its regular date of the first Saturday in February.
