Speed March - £4000
Provincial Grand Master Chris Moore welcomed back to Sussex those who took part in the sponsored Speed March, from Great Queen Street to Brighton – 60 miles in 24 hours – Supporting the Sussex 2028 Festival for the MCF.
This was the brainchild of Ray Collins of Aviation and Combined Services Lodge. It was a fabulous fundraising exercise, promoting Freemasonry in the Community.
Chris Moore gave thanks not only to Ray and all the "walkers" no matter how far they walked but also to the support and backup team who accompanied them.
