Murder Mystery Dinner a Great Success!

Stephan Kurth • February 6, 2018

The Whodunwot Players [aka Kippax Dramatic Society] returned by popular demand to entertain and put our detective skills to the test with their latest mystery, Murder at the Village Hall. The St Wilfrid detectives were out in numbers as almost sixty sleuthing Brethren, wives and friends gathered at Niddleston Village Hall [aka Castle Grove Masonic Hall] to celebrate the Queen’s 90th birthday. As we all enjoyed a delicious three course meal, events took a tragic turn with a very suspicious death!

Clues and red herrings abounded as the teams of detectives tried to solve the baffling crime. Should witnessing a murder be an enjoyable experience? Thanks to an enthralling script and excellent acting this dramatisation managed to entertain, confuse, amuse and challenge our investigative and observational skills.. ‘That was tremendous fun’ & ‘Can we do this again?’ was the verdict. A great success and a really enjoyable evening in excellent company!!

Another St Wilfrid BBQ Success!

After the disappointment when poor weather caused the event to be postponed in July, the second attempt to BBQ in September proved very successful with around thirty members, family and friends attending. The BBQ was generously hosted by Adrian & Annie with Adrian also acting as Chief Chef. The delicious food was complemented by specially brewed beers, courtesy of our resident Master Brewer Andy and his assistant Linda, together with wines and soft drinks. Many thanks go out too to everyone for the generous donations of salads and desserts. Fine dining, good drinking and excellent company! Happily on this occasion, the English summer weather was kind! Again, many thanks to everyone who was able to support or contribute to this event with particular thanks to Adrian, Annie, Andy & Linda for all their hard work. Their and everyone’s generosity has raised a further £715 for the Master’s Charity. Fantastic! From an enjoyment, social and fundraising perspective – the BBQ really was once again a great success

Challenge met by St Wilfrid!

By Stefan • August 3, 2023
St Wilfrid Lodge were delighted to take up the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge again after their last outing in 2019 and despite the very mixed weather conditions the four walkers did themselves and the Lodge proud! It was an early start for Gerry, Joe, Paddy and Richard who left the Horton in Ribblesdale start point just after 7am. The Yorkshire Three Peaks includes Pen-y-Ghent , Whernside and Ingleborough . The walkers started their 25-mile route climbing first up Pen-y-Ghent then towards the Ribblehead Viaduct, up Whernside then down to Chapel le Dale, and finally up and down Ingleborough to finish back in Horton-in-Ribblesdale. Over 60,000 steps, twelve hours of grit & determination - a superb effort by everyone! Our heroes were raising funds for St George’s Crypt with which the Lodge has had a long association. Its not too late to contribute! Please support them generously using the link : www.justgiving.com/page/bhl-mason-1689178647402 All donations to support St George’s Crypt. Support was given en-route by the WM, Andy, his wife Linda, Jack & Stefan who ensured that they were fed and watered on their challenging task. Well Done Everyone!
