The Provincial Grand Master, James Ross made a surprise visit to Narberth Lodge on Friday 6th February 2026. The IPM, Phil Hughes performed an excellent initiation ceremony with the support of all the officers of the lodge. The ritual was of the highest standard throughout and the candidate, Stephen Woodall seemed to really enjoy the experience both in the Temple and also at the Festive Board.

Much to the surprise of the PGM, Narberth had already voted to donate a further £500 towards the 2026 Festival and this latest donation took Narberth to 108% of their original target.

The PGM was delighted to receive the green voucher from the IPM at the Festive Board, although he did return the voucher to the very efficient lodge charity steward Bro Andrew Walker for onward transmission to the Festival Treasurer!

There were 5 visitors from the Province of South Wales who swelled the numbers and a lovely evening was had by all those fortunate enough to be present.
