This much delayed 2024 Festival fundraising walk finally got underway on Sunday morning, 24 April 2022 when, after a hearty breakfast at the Boat Inn, Stoke Bruerne, our N2HQ fundraising walkers set off on their way to Grand Lodge (YouTube video).
Breakfast for the walkers and their partners
The walkers are:
- WBro David Crossley, IPM of Grey Friars Lodge No. 4990
- WBro Mark Hunt, WM of Grey Friars Lodge No. 4990
- Bro John Line, SW of Grand Junction Lodge No. 9775
Unfortunately a fourth walker, Bro Matt Ellmer, has had to withdraw because of a continuing court commitment in Northern Ireland.
The walk will end at Grand Lodge on Friday the 29th of April where the walkers will be joined by WBro Mark Constant (APGM and PGM Designate) and WBro Gerry Crawford (Provincial Grand Charity Steward) and greeted by representatives of the Masonic Charitable Foundation (MCF).
Supplies and sustenance for the walk!
