Friday 27/03/09
William Hallewell Lodge, Cardiff.
Unfortunately only four PGL Officers
and one visiting brother from the Charles Winn Lodge managed to attend. This was probably due to work, holidays or other commitments.
Never the less we had an excellent evening,
enjoyed by all.
All officers and brothers of the lodge
showed great interest in the PGP’s nominated appeal.
The raffle of the evening raised £14.00
which was donated to the PGP’s appeal.
21/06/09 Report from PGP.
Clarence Lodge.
The Lodge opened early 11.30am, (due to an expected ‘RAID’ by a Lodge from the Haverfordwest
area), with a link of nine officer and brothers, seven of whom were PGL Officers.
To my delight the visiting Lodge, (Twelve Brothers) was the Cleddau Lodge from Letterston, Pembrokeshire,
a village located approximately five Miles from my home town.
A number of the visiting brothers were known to me. One in particular Brother Mike Lloyd ROH PPGP of the
North Pembrokeshire Province was a member of my mother Lodge when I was initiated into the order.
WE had an brilliant afternoon thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. The unfortunate part was that I had to leave
early due to another commitment.
To those who were unable to attend, all I can say is that you missed out on an excellent afternoon. We don’t
get may visits like this.
