During the weekend of 30th June and the 1st July, we opened our doors to the general public and invited them to come inside, have a look around and ask questions about Freemasonry. This was a very successful weekend with lots of interest expressed.

A new Worshipful Master

Alexandra Lodge held their installation meeting last night (Wednesday 5th October) to install their new Worshipful Master. The brethren were honoured by the presents of not one but two assistant provincial Grand Masters as well as twenty two visitors from 15 Lodges, the most distant being from a Lodge under the jurisdiction of the UGLE in New Zealand.  I thing we may need a little notice to reciprocate the visit.
A special mention should be made of the Installing Master who performed a word perfect ritual.  We are all proud of the commitment you have give during your two years as Worshipful Master and the manner in which you conducted yourself during the installation.
The festive board was very friendly and harmonious with good food and great company.  I'm sure we are all in for an exciting Masonic year ahead.

At the Convercation held by Edward Albert Chapter 985 on 12th September 2016 was a really wonderful surprise and treat for all the companions present.  After opening the Chapter there was a report and it was announced that the Most Excellent Grand Superintendent In and Over Lincolnshire was without and seeked admittance.  
​The most Excellent witnessed a fine ceremony of exultation by the Officers of Edward Albert Chapter followed by The Most Excellent presenting a 50 years certificate to a long serving companion of the Lodge.
​This was followed by a friendly and entertaining Festival Board down stairs in the dining room with guests and companions enjoying a fine four course meal amongst good company.

On the 9th December 2015, Worshipful Master David Spendla accompanied by Bro Stefen Dicks had the honour to present a cheque for £500 to Lauren Day at the "Holbeach and Fenland Gymnastic Club" who are based at; 
  • 57 Lime Walk
    Long Sutton
    Spalding
    Lincs
    PE12 9HG
  • (01945) 420280
​Lauren said that the money would be most useful in having the "Blocks" recovered as with continued use they do become quite worn.
During our visit we noticed that the gymnasts were also excitedly waiting for the local press to arrive with one of their photographers to take pictures of the gyms most recent medal winners, congratulations and continual success to you all.
The donation was part of the Charity given from the New Provincial Benevolent Fund, which donated a grand total of £72,500 throughout the Masonic Province of Lincolnshire.

A Great Night Was Had By All.

The evening of Saturday 21st November 2015, saw Saint Mary Lodge 7898, hold their annual Ladies' Festival, which was once again held at the Garthwaite Masonic Hall, Long Sutton.

The first of our seventy one guests started arriving at 6pm ready for a Champagne reception in the temple, where our Worshipful Master's Lady was presented with a beautiful basket of flowers.

​This was then followed by a hearty four course meal in our dinning room. Our 71 diners sat down to a very enjoyable

starter of Minestrone Soup.  
​Followed by the main course of Roast Turkey with Cranberries and Seasonal Vegetables.
Dessert followed which was Hot Apple Pie or Pecan Pie with Rich Vanilla Ice-cream and then a Cheese Board with Tea, Coffee & Mints.

This was then followed by a presentation of a silver engraved picture frame to the 
Master's Lady; the toast to the Ladies; a rendition of the Ladies' Song and the response by the Master's Lady.

​After all had had their fill and the tables had been rearranged, the evening's entertainment began with dancing to "The Mark 
Wilkinson Quartet", who played and evening of 'Standards' from the 'Great American Songbook'.

Carriages were arranged for midnight and I can confidently state that no slipped were left on the steps to the Lodge, nor did carriages turned back to pumpkins, and all the beautiful dresses remained exquisite.

Happy have we met,
Happy did we part,
​Happy meet again.
