Without hesitation Ian replied yes, and so the process began. For the full story click here.

September Quarterly Communication of Grand Lodge
The September Quarterly Communication of Grand Lodge will take place at midday on Wednesday 13th September 2023 in the International Conference Centre at the Celtic Manor Resort, just outside Newport. It is 100 years since the Quarterly Communication of Grand Lodge was held outside London, so the fact that it is coming to Monmouthshire is a unique opportunity for the Brethren of West Wales to attend and take part in one of the flagship moments of our Constitution. The Provincial Grand Master, RW Bro James Ross and his Executive Team invite all West Wales Brethren to join them at this exciting Quarterly Communication in September.
