'Masons in the Park' to become annual event

Last month's 'Masons in the Park' event raised more than £2,000 for charity and is becoming an annual event. 

The Provincial Grand Lodge of Freemasons held the event in Mooragh Park in Ramsey, and had live music, refreshments and displays of vintage cars. 

Donations from the public were matched by the Masonic Charitable Foundation and so £1,200 went to both the Teddy Loving Care scheme, which provides free teddy bears for children in hospitals and health centres, and local dementia charity, Forget Me Not.

Next year's event is already in the planning stage and organisers hope it'll be bigger, better, and more extravagant.
