Christmas Teddy Bear

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 !

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.

This evening Worshipful Brother David Llewellyn installed Worshipful Brother Keith Davies as the Worshipful Master of Torfaen Mark Master Masons in an exemplary manner. The evening was well attended by Brethren from all over the Province. The evening also raised £500 for local charities caring for local vulnerable and less fortunate young people and adults.

A fantastic evening for all the Brethren present.

Kennard Lecture

Kennard Lecture

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.
