The Big Help Out

As a part of the Big Help Out The Lodge and Chapter of Obedience No 1753, meeting in Okehampton, Devon, organised a “Clean for the King” with local community group ORIG (The Okehampton Rivers Improvement Group).  Using the Lodge as a base for meeting and refreshments children and parents from the local primary school joined forces with Okehampton Freemasons, and also with members of the local Lions Club, Rotarians and Roundtable, along with Town Councillors and members of other community interest groups, to clear litter from around the town.  A brilliant morning was enjoyed by everyone involved. The Okehampton Rivers Group gave prizes for the biggest piece of rubbish collected, which was an abandoned road closed sign, and for the most unusual piece of rubbish, which was hotly contested but won by a decorative false fingernail.  A fantastic community get together – great teamwork, great companionship and a great demonstration of what community can do.
