Christmas Teddy Bear

This Christmas Teddy was a Raffle Prize at the Llantarnam Christmas Evening. Mrs. Janet Penn was the Winner and immediately gave the Teddy to Mrs. Kaeren Jones for use in raising Funds for Disabled Swimmers.  Kaeren was attempting a “Firewalk” over Hot Ashes, which she successfully completed, raising much needed funds in the process! Thankfully no physical damage was reported. The Teddy refused to participate !

The Teddy raised £100.00 at the event, thus adding greatly to the final total raised !

Rugby Returns Update

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.

Saturday evening saw numerous Brethren from Pontypool Masonic Centre attend the Celtic Manor Resort for the Province of Monmouthshire’s Gala Dinner at the conclusion of the Charity Festival 2024. The festival raised the astonishing amount of £1,020,2400. An incredible achievement for a small province. Here are a few photographs of the evening and some of the Brethren who attended and some more from the Monmouthshire Freemasons Facebook page.

Henllys Cheese, Wine and Port

Friday evening Brethren from Henllys Lodge together with friends and family met at Pontypool Masonic Centre to enjoy a social evening accompanied by generous amounts of cheese with a little wine and Port. The evening was organised by Worshipful Brother David Llewellyn and the very generous cheese board was provided by Brother Wayne Jones. W. Bro. David also provided one of his excellent quizzes which tested the musical and general knowledge of all present. Brother John Coombs (of Henllys and Pagham Lodge) together with his wife travelled all the way from Aldwick, near Bognor Regis to join in the frivolities. The following day, the social gathering resumed with W. Bro. Dave Llewellyn and Brothers, John Coombs, Wayne Jones and Talbot Thrush meeting up again. A great way for the Brethren to enjoy the Bank Holiday weekend!
