On Monday evening Brother John Lavender was passed to the degree of a Fellow Craft at Henllys Lodge. The officers performed an excellent ceremony with the Provincial Grand Master, Right Worshipful Brother Chris. Evans in attendance. A very enjoyable ceremony with good ritual performed by the candidate and all officers involved. Afterwards, Henllys Worshipful Master, W.Bro. Jonathan Davies, described himself as a very proud Mason. The ceremony was followed by an excellent meal at the festive board.

This evening Brothers Heath and Michael Baker were exalted into Llantarnam Royal Arch Chapter. The Brothers were initiated into Freemasonry together and now continue their Masonic journey as Brothers, Brethren and now companions of Llantarnam Royal Arch Chapter. The ceremony was followed by a festive season themed festive board with all the Christmas decorations and trimmings courtesy of Companion Stuart Howells.

Anyone who has been a Master Mason for four weeks can join—and should aspire to join the Royal Arch, because becoming a Companion of the Order continues their voyage of discovery.

The return of Rugby to the Pontypool Masonic Centre may not have seen the rugby result that most would have wanted but nonetheless an enjoyable evening was had by all. Brethren, their family and friends had a fantastic evening enjoying each other’s company, fine food and some rugby. Huge thanks to Worshipful Brother Gareth White, Brother Stuart Howells and their wives for organising and delivering a great afternoon.
