On Thursday 5th January 2023, the Provincial Grand Master, RW Bro James Ross was delighted to receive a donation of £12,000 towards the West Wales 2026 MCF Festival from the Worshipful Master of Caerfyrddin Lodge, W Bro Kevin McCarthy.

Caerfyrddin Lodge have now transferred more than £32,000 to the West Wales 2026 Festival, hitting their original target set by Festival Chairman and Deputy Provincial Grand Master, VW Bro Ryland James who was also in attendance. The early transfer of funds means that Caerfyrddin Lodge will benefit from 4% interest on their full target between now and 2026. More importantly the funds can be used for good causes by the MCF now.

In an excellent ceremony earlier in the evening, Caerfyrddin Lodge welcomed their newest member, Bro Emlyn Phillips, who first made contact with West Wales Freemasons via this website.
