A chance meeting in a bar in Geneva’s old town could prove very successful for the good of
Middlesex and Hertfordshire Freemasonry in general and the Fortitude Lodge in particular!


After meeting the partner of a member of the England Rugby Squad, Fortitude Lodge Charity
Steward, W.B. Goldthorpe, managed to obtain 3 tour shirts signed by the current Squad. One of the
shirts, which are highly sought after by rugby clubs and fans alike, will be a star lot in an auction
to be held at the Fortitude Lodge Ladies Weekend. The second will be passed to Goff’s Oak Lodge
(Hertfordshire) whose Ladies Weekend coincides with Fortitude Lodge while the third will donated
to the Middlesex Family Fete Committee to raise funds at this year’s fete.
