25th Anniversary 1963 - 1988

As the Lodge 50th Anniversary approaches in 2013. I thought I would bring back memories of the 25th Anniversary
I have managed to resurrect some photos and information of our 25th Anniversary
My apologies for some of the photographs as they were taken some 22 years ago I have tried to tweak them but digital photography was not invented then..............Bro. Charlie Rogerson P.M.
