Great night at Kings Court for Hamtun Lodge’s Ladies Night. Excellent company, food and wine with plenty of popular raffle winners helping to raise £315 for Hearing Dogs for Deaf People

An amazing evening at Hamtun Lodge last night. Our first recital of the 1st Degree Lectures in over 20 years. Almost every one from Hamtun Lodge took part in the proceedings including two visitors.
After which, at the Festive Board, it was a delight to entertain our visitors and guests, in particular the brethren from @Northbourne6827 who made the long trip from across the border - thank you for coming!
Merry Christmas and best wishes to all our followers and friends from the Worshipful Master and Brethren of Hamtun Lodge. We trust that you’ll have enjoyable and festive day!
