At Kennard Lodge’s most recent meeting, Brethren enjoyed a fantastic night with a superb lecture on Early Medieval times by their very own “Pet Viking” Brother Mike.
And it was lovely to see visiting Masters and a special guest Brother Andrew Brundsdon from a Canadian Lodge, with an exchange of Masonic gifts between Kennard Lodge and Lodge Renfrew 134 in Calgary.
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.
This evening Mr. David Poulsom was initiated into Freemasonry becoming the second Brother to join Henllys Lodge in this Masonic year. Worshipful Master Jonathan Davies performed an excellent ceremony ably assisted by his officers, in particular Brother Wayne Jones who perambulated Bro. David Poulsom through his initiation ceremony.
The ceremony was followed by a festive board with over 40 Brethren in attendance, including visitors from the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Province, all enjoying another fantastic evening.
This Saturday, 23 November, Pontypool Masonic Centre will be open for Brethren and their family and friends to watch the rugby – courtesy of W.Bro. Gareth White and Bro. Stuart Howells.
The centre will be open from 4pm with food and drink available – chilli con carne and rice and a drink just £7. Book in with Gareth or Stuart.
There’s also a mini bus available from Cwmbrân to Pontypool Masonic Centre. Contact Gareth to book your seat.
Our ceremony last night saw Bro. Richard Gingell passed to the second degree. Congratulations brother on your next step in Freemasonry. Excellent ceremony lead from the front by our W.M who also celebrated 40 years in masonry 
what an achievement. A goodly number of visitors (picture of all the visiting WM’s/elect) and even visitors all the way from Essex. Well done all involved.
