Monday evening at Henllys Lodge saw Mr Conna Hutchinson join Freemasonry and become Brother Conna Hutchinson. An excellent ceremony delivered by the newly installed Worshipful Master, David Coleman, in his very first ceremony as W.M. He was ably assisted by his officers, in particular Brother Aron Hutchings in his first ceremony as the Junior Deacon. A well attended ceremony was followed by a very enjoyable festive board and getting to know our newly made Brother.

A successful night at Trevethin Lodge 6008 where Worshipful Master Neil and his team of officers carried out an excellent Second Degree ceremony! All brethren were on top form, from the Inner Guard all the way up to Worshipful Master himself. What made it even more special was a fraternal visit from the brethren of Henllys Lodge filling the lodge and helping towards a wonderfully fun Festive Board! And so to next month!
Remember non-masons, if you’re interested in Masonry, the first step is to get in touch!

It was fantastic to welcome strong support from Monmouthshire Freemasons and the Wyvern Chapter Widows Sons who turned out in great numbers to back both the new Master and the Installing Master, Worshipful Brother Jonathan Davies, both proud members of the Chapter themselves.
A truly memorable evening of brotherhood, tradition, and support.
