  • Hereford Open Evening

    Hereford Open Evening

    A tremendous turnout for the inaugural open evening at Kyrle Street on Wednesday 9 July. Taurus Chapter attended with their motorcycles outside, and twenty-one potential members were in attendance together with members of the Provincial Team and many other members of the Province.

    The potential candidates were taken through an overview of Freemasonry in Herefordshire before having a tour of the Temple and many stayed behind to ask further questions. Des Watkins, the Provincial Grand Membership Officer, is now following up on to see how many we can put forward to Lodges as candidates for the next season.

    Thank you to all who made this a highly successful evening.

    This is a regular monthly event during the summer which the Lodge has been supporting. All the Lodges and other orders from Ross on Wye continue to support the Ross Community Food Larder with monthly donations of supplies.

    Thanks to all those that supported St Michael’s Hospice at their Sue Parry Sports Day event on Saturday 28 June by acting as car park marshals.

    St Michael’s Hospice commented on the day.

    “What a fantastic day. Thank you to everyone for being part of festival which showcased so much sporting talent and community cohesion. From the referees and umpires through to the volunteers doing everything from car parking to litter picking – great team effort.

    Finally thank you for everyone for turning out and raising the vital voluntary donations that the Hospice relies so heavily on”

  • A Special Night at St Peter’s Lodge

    A Special Night at St Peter’s Lodge

    The May Lodge night of St Peter’s Lodge marked a very proud moment for the Taurus Chapter, and one they won’t forget anytime soon.

    With the kind permission of the Provincial Grand Master, they were honoured to be able to wear their cuts for some photos to be taken in the Lodge room after the meeting. Billy Russell of Taurus Chapter said:

    “Being able to stand proudly in the Lodge room for photos, in our cuts, wasn’t about making a statement, it was about raising awareness of who we are, what we do, and showing that although we’re bikers… we are Freemasons first.

    The Worshipful Master announced that the raffle proceeds from the night would be donated to our nominated charity, West Mercia Women’s Aid. A sum of £230 was raised, which is fantastic. Thank you to St Peter’s Lodge, the Provincial Grand Master, and all the Brethren who made us feel so welcome”.
