ON HIS BIKE!
Early 2016 W Bro D Wright PPSGD joined up with fellow riders from the Mirfield lodge to undertake a second ride in aid of the Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution charity riding 153 miles from Mirfield Lodge to the Humber Bridge and back.
This was following his participation in 2014 in the 300 mile 3 day Provincial Perimeter Pedal visiting lodge premises around the boundaries of Yorkshire & West riding Province to raise money for the same charity. W. Bro K Bradley PPGReg provided logistical support throughout the 2014 event.
