MASTERS NOTE PAD

Greetings Brethren,

Our March meeting we had the explanation of the 1^st Degree Tracing for Bro Macartney by W.Bro Andy Taylor. Thank you Andy for that faultless presentation. The Lodge called off to allow W.Bro Tim Brown time to set up for his presentation of his paper titled “Secret Society” Get real. Thank you Tim for a most enlightening subject. Nominations for the 2011/12 team were conducted and remember Brethren we will be conducting ballots for the Master, Treasurer and Tyler at our April meeting. The evening was topped off by another great meal.

Thanks to all who assisted with refectory.

Bring A Brother

There was another success with W.Bro Reg Cull bringing Bro Bill Feasey back into Lodge. Thank you Reg and welcome back Bill. I had a great chat to Bro Robbie Lammas who is still very busy with his motel business but is looking for new challenge in life which could see him have more time for Freemasonry. Brethren are urged to continue attempts at bringing a brother to our next meeting.

The future of our Lodge is in YOUR hands.
