A group of twelve 2006/7 Masters of Lodges Meeting at Freemasons’ Hall, Northampton - led by WBro Barrie Goulding, Worshipful Master of Kingsley Lodge No 2431 - raised the funds necessary to cover a Lourdes Pilgrimage.
Lloyda Henton, a barmaid at Freemasons’ Hall, wished to take part as a volunteer in the Welsh National Youth Pilgrimage Challenge 2007. This involved accompanying the disabled to Lourdes. She was having trouble raising the necessary funds when the twelve 2006/7 Masters came to the rescue and raised the £405 she needed for her trip.
The Pilgrimage, from 24 to 31 July 2007 was a great success and Lloyda said, “I’d like to express my deep thanks to you all for your support and funding towards my pilgrimage. Without you all it would not have been possible.”
