Sorry all, we have been a bit remiss in keeping up with news. We promise to do better. Watch this space.

Some of the team are already there, the rest are coming over tomorrow. Prince of Wales Lodge No. 1705 are on tour! 24 hardy souls including friends from other Lodges and other Provinces. This year we are going to Jersey. On Tuesday night we are visiting de Carteret Lodge No. 3459 for their Installation meeting and an Official Visit by the Provincial Grand Master of Jersey and his Provincial team. On Wednesday we are visiting our namesakes at Prince of Wales Lodge No. 1003, where they will be kindly Raising on of our own members on our behalf. It doesn't get much better than this.

Arrangements are now well under way for our visit to Jersey in October 2022. We have been in contact with both lodges that we plan to visit and it is looking good for us to be attending De Carteret Lodge No 3495 on Tuesday 4th October for their Installation meeting and then our namesakes at Prince of Wales Lodge No 1003 on Wednesday 5th October. We are looking forward to spending a few days on Jersey and it looks like we will have good numbers going over - 23 booked in so far!

We had a 'live' Ceremony of Passing in May and we are delighted to say that we will be Initiating a new member this Thursday, 24th June 2021. We will be observing full Coronavirus protocols and the ceremony will be undertaken using the recommended ritual as provided by Province. We cannot wait to bring a new member into our wonderful Fraternity.

We're back! Last night saw our first meeting since the easing of lockdown. It was lovely to see so many of our members, all observing full Covid protocols and keeping themselves and each other safe. We completed a long awaited Ceremony of Passing and although it was a little bit strange to see everything done with full social distancing in place we don't think it detracted from the enjoyment for the Candidate, everyone that took part and all the other members (and a few guests!). A power team in place in the E with Grand Officers acting as WM and IPM made for a very enjoyable evening with the WM faultless which gave the IPM a very quiet night indeed. It really is very good to be back - let's hope it lasts. God bless the Prince of Wales.

A general selection of pics after a truly excellent meeting. Two new Fellowcrafts made. A Bro. (actually a R.W. Bro.) over from Portsmouth, New Hampshire and a last sad farewell to a genuinely fantastic Bro. - W. Bro. David Perkis, APGM, at his last ever visit as an APGM - you will be sorely missed.

Lots of Provincial news this year: Bill Starkey - reappointed as Provincial Deputy Grand Director of Ceremonies, Trevor Conduit - promotion to Past Provincial Deputy Grand Sword Bearer, Geoff Mecham - first appointment to Past Provincial Assistant Grand Director of Ceremonies, and Daniel Mecham to Past Provincial Assistant Grand Registrar. Well done all.
