Several members from Bedford Castle Lodge visited The Loyal Manor Lodge in Weymouth specifically to meet with WB Brian Barnes who is responsible for the making of the Nautical Cable Tow now used by several Bedfordshire Lodges.  W B Barnes has now made and shipped around the world over 140 raising some £14000 for multiple lodge charities.  The Brethren were treated to an initiation followed by a vey interesting Festive Board.  It is hoped that a reciprocal visit will be made later this year.
