A Smashing Time in New Zealand!
|
|
W Bro Ryland James' Rally Car is retrieved from the hillside
|
In his capacity as the Treasurer and Secretary to the Masonic Charities Association, W Bro Ryland James is very used to “going down the Bank,” but W Bro Ryland is also a keen motor sports enthusiast and his love of banks got the better of him during a rallying trip to New Zealand in November. W Bro Ryland was co-driving, when the car he was in left the course at speed and careered down the hillside. Being a left hand drive vehicle, W Bro Ryland was on the side which took the brunt of the impact. Fortunately both occupants of the car walked away with only minor cuts and bruises!

There was a buzz of excitement in Milford Haven on Tuesday 20th January 2015. The Travelling Gavel was “up for grabs” and the Lodge was packed with Brethren eager to see which lodge would triumph and take away the prize.
There were more than 30 visitors in the temple who were treated to an excellent First Degree Ceremony performed by the Worshipful Master, W Bro Gary Thomas, ably assisted by W Bros Peter Gregory & Neil Johnson and Bro Billy Howlin, who also happened to be the very proud father of the candidate!
And who won the Travelling Gavel?? You can read the whole story here. |
