The event is ticket only, but each lodge has been asked to send 3 representatives (the suggestion is WM, Charity Steward + 1). If you would like to attend this free event and haven't had a direct invitation, please contact your lodge secretary to see if there is a spare place for you.

W Bro Dan Owen Evans received his 60 Year Certificate and Badge from Past Provincial Grand Master, RW Bro Eric Mock at the September meeting of the Peter Drewett Daylight Lodge of Progress. RW Bro Eric spoke in glowing terms about his close friendship with W Bro Dan over many years. The Past Provincial Grand Almoner also paid tribute to W Bro Dan's service as lodge Almoner and presented him with a bottle shaped gift to help him celebrate his long service award.

The St Peter's Lodge meeting in September was a very grand affair with the Past Deputy Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of India, RW Bro Dr Sujit Vasudevan and Past Grand Director of Ceremonies, VW Bro Krishnananda Shenoy also of the Grand Lodge of India in attendance to witness an excellent demonstration of the Third Degree Ceremony performed by W Bro Graham Jenkins (no pressure!). Also in attendance were all the West Wales Rulers and a host of other senior West Wales brethren. A fine evening was had by all.

You didn’t have to go down to the woods on Sunday 13^th August, because that was the day the teddy bears had their picnic in…..Tenby Harbour!

 

As part of the Tercentenary celebrations, a Teddy Bears Picnic was held there to showcase the TLC Appeal, our wonderful Masonic charity that donates teddy bears to hospital A&E departments for medical staff to give to children that are sick, injured or severely traumatised. The teddies are used to calm and befriend children, and even to help demonstrate what is wrong with them. They are a very effective aid and are much-loved by children, parents and medical staff alike.

 

Just over 13 yrs ago all of a sudden I fell ill. In that instant our whole lives turned upside down. One minute everything was perfect, we had the whole of our lives in front of us and the next we couldn’t see further than our noses. Quite a shock.

This is how I came in to contact with Cardigan Cancer Care and the good work all their volunteers do, such as offer emotional and financial support to cancer sufferers and their families in the area.

I have never forgotten about C.C.C and always said to myself, if ever I am in a position to help them back I will. So when we raised £500 pounds in the lodge, I was as asked my thoughts as Master where the money could go. The answer was easy for me.
