Its was all go over two days of the March Labour Day weekend with members of Armadale, Heritage Craft Lodges, Dale Chapter and Allenby Preceptory coming in to finish off the painting in the ante room, grand lodge room and festive board hall along with removing the old footpath outside the old entrance ready for a new concrete one to be installed. 

The grounds outside got a good going over as well with the build up of weeds removed and overhanging trees cut back.
