Isle of Man Post Office is celebrating 300 years of English Freemasonry’s first Grand Lodge with a special set of six stamps that have been created together with London Design Agency, Glazier Design, with the cooperation of the United Grand Lodge of England. The stamps are filled with symbols and references including a hidden logo only visible under UV light, GPS references to places important in Freemasonry including those on the Isle of Man and a subtle ribbon honouring the 50th year of the office of the current Grand Master, HRH the Duke of Kent.

Lodge of Good Intention No. 6927  helps Barnstaple Rugby
Football Club – Junior Section

 
 

Barnstaple Rugby Football Club –
Junior Section is made up of
youngsters aged from 6 to 16 who
turn up, regardless of weather,
every Sunday Morning through the
winter to improve their Rugby
skills as well as their fitness.
Their enthusiasm means that
their equipment has been used
‘enthusiastically’ and needs
replacing. Barnstaple Freemasons
have already presented the club
with £400 but the importance of
ensuring that young people
should be encouraged in their
sport was recognised by
Freemasons all over Devon who
united to provide a donation of
an additional £1,000 for this
thriving group.
Richard Harris, the Charity
Steward of the Lodge of Good
Intention No. 6927 Barnstaple
and Alan Cockman, Lodge Mentor,
are pictured here presenting a
cheque to Russ Copsey, Chairman
of the Junior Section and Quita
Chugg, under nines manager.

On Saturday, 25th March a Strawberry Fayre was held at The International Club in El Campello and the Lodge Committee gave a lot of their time freely and voluntarily in full support of this needy cause. The idea was that everything for the Fayre had to be based on the theme of strawberries and those who contributed showed a great deal of initiative in the wide range of goodies they prepared, from strawberry pavlova, strawberry cakes, strawberry tarts, strawberry jam to strawberry and meringue skewers for the chocolate fountain. (Why wasn’t I invited?) 🙂

A “wonderful convocation” were the words used by the Grand Superintendent Tony Harrison when he attended the 17th annual installation convocation of Knott End Chapter No 8674 as its principal guest. The occasion was further enriched by the presence of not one, but two Assistant to the Provincial Grand Principals in the persons of Christopher (Chris) Butterfield and David Randerson.
