On Saturday 15th May 2010, Lodge Neuhaus had their Installation Meeting in the Dorener Restaurant, Paderborn. Over 50 members turned up to support them including the Deputy Grand Master Richard Ancliffe BEM, Beaver again was well represented. The ceremony went very well and congratulations, greetings and apologies were given to the newly Installed Master, Worshipful Brother Simon Constable on behalf of all Beaver members. 32 sat down to enjoy their Festive Board. At the Grand Lodge (GLBFG) Communication held in the Freden Hotel, Bad Iburg on Saturday 8th of May 2010, members of Beaver Lodge were honoured. In the first instance Worshipful Brother Dennis Russell PGStdB, was presented with an award from the Grand Master, Most Worshipful Brother John Barton Gibson BEM, in open Grand Lodge for his having completed 50 years as a Freemason. We from Beaver Lodge of course endorse that – very well done Dennis. Worshipful Brother John (Shiny) MacKinnon DGDC was promoted by the Grand Master to Grand Director of Ceremonies in place of Worshipful Brother Ron Cairns who was promoted to Junior Grand Warden, both are ex Past Masters of Beaver; we congratulate them both keep up the good work – not far to Grand Master now Ron? Very Worshipful Brother David Smith gave an excellent ‘final’ report on his retirement as Grand Treasurer, the Grand Master stated he regretted accepting his resignation but recognised that four years in this stressful job was perhaps enough, David is now a candidate to take over Beaver’s Treasurer job – we in turn welcome that, and thank him for all his dedication and hard work as Grand Treasurer. Beaver was well represented in Grand Lodge as usual with ten regular members and two past members. 9th May 2010 Secretary Secretary 15th April 2010 As you can see Bro Paul Haigh has done us proud again with his decoration of the Lodge rooms in preparation for what has now become an Annual Families Day Lunch. This took place on Saturday the 10th of April 2010; and although the numbers were not so great (16) we were able to make welcome an old Past Master, WBro Ron Hubbard (1992-93) and his wife Margaret who now reside in Bovey Tracey in the UK . As always the meal was excellent and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. We look forward to the next Families Event which is the Bar B Q to be held at the Lodge in July. Please inform the Secretary if it is your intention to participate – the Grand Master has provisionally agreed to join us. WBro Graham Flint for WM Greetings have been received from WBro Brian Brown (Past Master of Beaver in 1986-87) who is currently living in Cyprus. He mentions that he is about to be appointed to District Grand Jnr Warden from being a Past Grand Jnr Warden (he states they do things backwards in Cyprus) we offer our heartiest congratulations on his appointment (or is it demotion – going backwards) and we hope he keeps up promoting Beaver on his travels. Stay in touch Brian, give our greetings to all in Cyprus. Cyprus 12 April 2010
It is a well known fact that the Grand Master would like to see as many Brethren as possible from Constituent Lodges attending Lodge Installation Meetings; Beaver having had a great turnout at the Keys of Munster Lodge Installation on the 6th of February, we again had quite a strong representation at Doric’s Installation on the 20th of February, which included (as can be seen by the photograph) VWBro David Smith, WBro Ronnie Cairns, WBro Shiny MacKinnon, WBro Graham Flint. Although the numbers present left a lot to be desired, a great day was had by those attending. It was a pleasant surprise to see, also as a visitor, the Grand High Priest Bro Juan Brackins-Romero of the Supreme Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of Germany and Illustrious Master of the Grand Council of Cryptic Masons of Germany, the webmaster has also included a photograph of him on this page; it is hoped he has no problems in Portugal (he was due to travel there during the week) where they have had very bad weather resulting in widespread devastation in some areas. Brethren it would seem Beaver is beginning to show the way in terms of getting out and about visiting, hopefully the momentum will be maintained; the Worshipful Master thanks all those making the effort to support him during his term in office. The next meeting of any significance is on the 6th of March in Gutersloh and it is hoped as many from Beaver will attend as possible. Munich, Febuary 13. 2010 Today we were well represented at the Installation of Worshipful Brother David Smith of Southern Star Lodge No 1025, the most southern-most ‘outpost’ of the Grand Lodge of British Freemasons in Germany. Sincerely & fraternally Worshipful Master, Beaver Lodge No 885 Tittmoning, February 15, 2010 Dear Brethren and visitors, Welcome to the new Beaver Lodge news page, This page gives us the opportunity to inform you quickly, and hopefully keep you up to date on the going’s on, in and around Beaver Lodge. Keep safe and best wishes to you all. Sincerely & fraternally Worshipful Brother Carl Pedley The White Rabbit put on his spectacles. “Begin at the beginning,” |
