IMPORTANT NOTICE.
With the Covid-19 restrictions currently in place, including the requirement to wear masks during our meetings, the brethren decided - at our regular meeting on Wednesday 15th September - to postpone ongoing meetings until further notice.
This decision was not taken lightly and the committee will continue to monitor the situation, with a view to restarting our meetings as soon as possible.
We have again updated our 'meetings & events' page and will make further adjustments as and when required - hopefully sooner rather than later!!
With Masonic Lodges both at home and abroad continuing to help those in need by raising funds, we will continue with our monthly 'Good Causes' raffle and can I again thank the brethren of the Lodge for their on-going support.
And finally, please remember, you can view the most recent weekly update from the Grand Master Mason HERE.
