2023 River Cruise
On Saturday 19th August 2023 a group of Camberley Lodge members and friends gathered together for a short river Cruise on the "Lucy Fisher" a replica of a Victorian Paddle Steamer. on the River Thames from Runnymede. After an unpromising start, the weather cleared to bright sunshine and we enjoyed a relaxing cruise on the river, accompanied by an interesting commentary.
The cruise was organised by Worshipful Master Rick Comber who was accompanied by his wife Abi. After the tranquil cruise, we gathered together back at Runnymede for a happy picnic on the riverside. This was followed by a quiz, with questions compiled by our Worshipful Master. The event was enjoyed by all, including the several children present. As well as being great fun, the event was held to raise funds for the Worshipful Master's Charity MAN-UP which helps men with depression, suicidal thoughts, and mental health issues, through a network of volunteers.
Several more events are planned in a full year of activities. We look forward to an "Old English Night" for members and guests, to be followed by a "White Table meeting and a Quiz night. The year will come to a great climax with a Ladies Festival in February at Camberley Cricket Club. All in aid of the same deserving charity.

2022 Ladies Night
The weekend of 25th - 27th March 2022 saw the long-awaited Camberley Lodge Ladies' Festival, held at the Hermitage Hotel Bournemouth; having been postponed twice previously due to Covid 19.
The Festival was hosted by W.Bro. Paul Wells and his wife Fay. It was the culmination of three years as Worshipful Master for Paul, due to the effects of Covid.
63 adults were in attendance and they had a great time, as you can see from the selection of photographs.
There was a five-course banquet and dancing until the small hours.
During the evening £1,000 was raised for FIRST TOUCH, a Spina Bifida charity very dear to the Worshipful Master and his wife. To this will be added £2,300 from activities during the Worshipful Master's period of office. So the charity will receive the grand sum of £3,300.
This is not all though!
A raffle in aid of THE RED CROSS UKRANIA APPEAL raised an additional £640.
