Kipling Brought to Life: An Unforgettable Evening at Someries Lodge

Someries Lodge recently hosted a fascinating lecture by Ian Church titled ‘Rudyard Kipling’s Sideboard’. The presentation offered a wealth of lesser-known insights into the life, family, and history of Rudyard Kipling.

Members and guests alike were captivated, particularly by the remarkable personal artefacts from Ian’s own collection, which added a unique and tangible dimension to the talk.

It was a truly memorable evening, rounded off with a lively and enjoyable festive board, thoroughly appreciated by all in attendance.

As a token of appreciation, Someries Lodge presented Ian with a cash charity voucher. In a generous gesture, Ian donated this to the Commonwealth War Graves Foundation. Ian is pictured presenting the donation, marking a fitting conclusion to an event that combined education, fellowship, and charitable giving.
