Next Lodge Meeting

We continue to be restricted by Government regulations . Our masonic rulers have decided that all masonic activity will be suspended at least until 5th April, 2021. Sadly this means that we will have lost our December, 2020 meeting and the meetings scheduled for February (installation) and March 2021.

This is greatly disappointing to us as we have three candidates awaiting initiation ceremonies. Our next planned meeting after that will be held at the School on either the 8th or 9th July,2021. Fingers crossed ! We will meet again.

Next Chapter Meeting

As with the Lodge, the Chapter is restricted by Government regulations. Our scheduled meeting for the 17th November was an “administrative zoom event”. Our January 2021 installation meeting has been lost. Although the centenary meeting should be on the 8th June. the centenary celebrations will be deferred to 2022 in order to get the attendance that such a celebration deserves

We have two candidates awaiting exaltation ceremonies and thus with the centenary celebrations we are going to be super busy as soon as the cough-19 restrictions are lifted.
