A Historic Night for Kennard Lodge 1258
On 28/01/2028 Kennard Lodge 1258 made history by initiating three Entered Apprentices in a single evening—a first for our Lodge in Living Memory! This momentous occasion was not only a testament to the growth of our Lodge but also a reminder of the strength and unity within Freemasonry.

The evening was further enriched by the presence of visiting brethren from NIOBA Lodge, Armed Forces Lodge, and the Province, whose support and camaraderie added to the significance of the event. Their attendance underscored the strong bonds that connect Masons across lodges and the brotherhood it creates.
We extend a heartfelt welcome to our newest brothers as they begin their Masonic journey. The path ahead is one of learning, growth, and fraternity, and we look forward to guiding and supporting them every step of the way.
A huge thank you to everyone who made the evening such a success—our officers, visiting brethren, and members who continue to uphold the values of Freemasonry with dedication and integrity.

Here’s to a bright future for Kennard Lodge 1258 and our new Entered Apprentices!

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 !
