The APGM Gloucestershire WBro Ian Davies with our new WM for 2022/3 at our Installation meeting in November 2022.

A note of thanks and praise by our WBro Mike Blackmore PPGSD,

Brethren, Firstly may I once again thank and congratulate all of you who contributed toward our Installation ceremony, again all feedback was very positive and complimentary. I must however make mention of our newest candidate Bro Gareth Owen who volunteered to give the explanation of the second degree working tools to our new WM and the toast to our Founders at the Festive Board. Very well done Gareth and many thanks for stepping up to the mark on behalf of the Lodge!

What a fantastic evening and a great start for WM Ian Whittern taking the Chair for the first time. We wish our WM a very enjoyable and successful year.

Our IPM for 2021/2 W Bro Chris Northcott has worked incredibly hard for the lodge by attending and supporting other lodges, arranging Golf Days and going the extra mile for the values of the lodge and Gloucestershire Freemasons and in his year raised £4061.12p for good causes. This was W Bro Northcott’s second time in the Chair and everyone was made very welcome in all his really enjoyable evenings. At his Installation in November 2021 WBro Dick Smith gave the speech to the visitors and VW Bro Ray Guthrie of Somerset Freemasons who is now the PGM for Somerset spoke on behalf of the visitors.
