Kemsley Mathias 50 Years in Masonry
On Wednesday 21st December 2016, The Provincial Grand Master, RW Bro Stephen Hookey was delighted to be able to present W Bro Kemsley Mathias with a certificate and badge to commemorate 50 years unbroken membership of The Craft. It was a particularly pleasant duty as W Bro Kemsley is a member of Cleddau Lodge, The Provincial Grand Master's mother lodge. You can read the full story and the Provincial Grand Master's address here.
 
Trevor Kelway Carol Service
The Annual Trevor Kelway Lodge Carol Service was held at the Masonic Hall, Llanelli, on Saturday, 10th December, 2016, and hosted by the Worshipful Master, W.Bro. Andrew Leahy and Mrs Tracy Leahy.
 
Following a ‘mulled wine’ reception and a most enjoyable Carol Service led by members of the Llanelli Salvation Army Band,  66 brethren, ladies and other guests sat down to a festive meal and enjoyed a convivial evening.
 
Many toys and gifts, donated by members, guests and others unable to attend were presented to the Salvation Army for distribution to needy children along with a cheque for £200 as a donation from the Trevor Kelway Lodge. 
 
A raffle raised £215 to be used to the benefit of local good causes, with prizes donated by Lodge members. 
 
W.Bro. Andrew and Tracy wish to thank all for their enthusiastic and generous support.
 

Macmillan Cancer Care has been chosen to be our special charity for 2017.  As this is our tercentenary year the Provincial Grand Master hopes to surpass the £11,000 raised last year for prostate cancer. This year’s campaign again has a health message and many if not most members would benefit from some weight loss. Individuals can try to get sponsorship for their effort and may I suggest that if they can’t keep to their New Year’s resolution they could forfeit a penalty donation. Full details can be found here.
