A spokesperson for the Cosham Masonic Centre said: ‘The event was one of several organised by Glenda and Nigel Green who have managed the Cosham Masonic Centre for a number of years. Raising funds for good causes is something that comes naturally to them, both at the masonic centre and afar.’

The centre plans to continue raising money for charity, which aims to provide surgical support for patients, training surgeons to work with the latest technology in the field and to fund cutting-edge research.
