Doubtful weather did not mean the cancellation of the St John of Bridlington Lodge annual BBQ but it was decided to move it into the Masonic Hall.

The result was a very well attended event and the raising of just over £600.

Some of this was earmarked for the Friends of Connaught Court and, on the basis of “so may others fare”, the current plan is to share the balance between several local Food Banks.

As the Lodge has quite a number of members from around Filey, Phil Harrison, the Lodge’s Charity Steward, had the pleasure of handing over the first cheque in the sum of £150 to Dianne Lamb, the chief co-ordinator of the Filey Fridge.
