Pilgrims Lodge, celebrated a memorable Ladies Night on the 9th of September 2023, marked by a gathering of 100 esteemed attendees. The event, held in the spirit of camaraderie and benevolence, witnessed the participation of 40 dedicated Masons and their partners, along with 20 non-Masons and their companions.
This exceptional evening served as an opportunity for both Masonic and non-Masonic guests to experience the rich heritage and values of Freemasonry firsthand. Seven potential candidates, new to the world of Masonry, were welcomed and had the privilege of being shown the fun side of our lodge and had a chance to discuss freemasonry in a lively and laid back atmosphere.
Through the collective generosity of the attendees, Pilgrims Lodge is proud to announce that a substantial sum of £5895 was raised for various charitable causes. The breakdown of the donations is as follows:
