WBro John Hitchin, that well known, debonair, ivory-tickling senior Mason of the Province, has embarked on a fundraiser.

Members of Old Kimboltonians' Lodge No. 7204 (WBro John's mother lodge) have challenged him to change his coiffure by refraining from his usual hair-dying appointments thus returning to his natural hair colour. There is a strong suspicion it may be grey.

WBro John's current look

John has readily agreed to do this and, to boot, will also remain unshaven. He will maintain his new hirsute, greybeard look until the next regular meeting of his lodge.

John commented:

I expect by the end I’ll be looking like Robinson Crusoe but I don’t mind. It’s all in a good cause, our 2024 Festival, which is supporting the wonderful work of the MCF.
