Skipton freemasons throw open their doors

5:40pm Friday 10th February 2012 in Skipton & The Dales

Skipton Freemasons are inviting the public to their lodge to find out more about their organisation.

Craven Lodge No 810 is hosting an open evening on Wednesday, February 22, at the Masonic Hall, Sackville Street, Skipton.

The event will include a tour of the building and various displays depicting the work of freemasonry in the community.

W Bro Roger Newhouse said: “This evening is open to anyone interested in finding out more about our lodge and freemasonry in general.

“Thanks to the author Dan Brown, the nation’s curiosity about freemasons has been piqued.

“It will probably surprise many to learn that, after the National Lottery, our organisation is the largest contributor to charity.”

The evening starts at 7.30pm.

For free admission tickets, contact Mr Newhouse on (01756) 796164, or by e-mail roger.newhouse@lineone.net. Please note, space is limited, so tickets will be issued on a first come, first served basis.
