I was initiated into North Kent Lodge 2499 on the 125^th year anniversary meeting which took place last year at Oakley house, and what a fine meeting that was; since then, as you all know, COVID-19 has sadly had a serious affect of masonry and charity work along with a majority of other parts of our lives. I want to carry out a series of hikes and challenges for this festival to help boost our festival an ensure we hit our target, so any donations would thankfully received.
