On Friday the 13th Dec many many visitors braved the cold dark winter night to witness a fantastic double third degree ceremony in Cardigan at an Emergency Meeting by Frenni Lodge members, they also welcomed Fellowcraft and Entered Apprentices along for a talk by W. Bro Adrian Davies making sure everyone was included and involved. 

A bustling Festive Board with nearly 50 brethren was held with visitors from all corners of the province trying to claim the Travelling Gavel, success on the night came down to 5 Brethren that travelled up from Castlemartin Lodge in Pembroke Dock. 

If you want to claim the Traveling Gavel and see your lodge benefit from a thriving meeting and Festive Board why not try and claim the Travelling Gavel on Tuesday 14th January 2025 in Pembroke Dock at Castlemartin’s next meeting. 

Please contact the Lodge Secretary to book the Festive Board in advance.

WM, Huw Thomas (left) Receives an Orignal Painting by W Bro Roger Bennett

In addition to a double Third Degree Ceremony and fierce competition to claim the Travelling Gavel, West Wales' resident artist, W Bro Roger Bennett, was in attendance to present Teifi Lodge with one of his original paintings depicting various aspects of freemasonry.

The Worshipful Master W Bro Huw Thomas was delighted to receive the painting on behalf of the lodge. The painting demonstrates that we are just passing through. Freemasonry was here long before we arrived and will be here long after we have finished our time on this earth.
