Spent a few hours at my local RMBI home this weekend, having tea, cakes and listening to the residents. Such an inspiring generation.
So very sad to hear how unsettled they are about the sale of the RMBI homes.
One of the saddest decisions ever made in freemasonry.
Disgraceful.
@Masonic_Charity@thermbi Really disappointed to read the First Rising email this evening.
Shocked, dismayed and cannot help but feel this is a betrayal.
Very enjoyable meeting of West Kent Masters yesterday - great news to hear another Bro from my lodge Oakwood 8299 has been voted Master elect.
Excellent presentation on the Pastoral Care team also.
If you are a Master or PM in West Kent - come visit.
@Steve_the_mason Always good to see you Stephen. It was a very enjoyable and enlightening meeting, Companion Clive's talk was hugely entertaining and informative.
Further to my earlier post, yesterday I was inducted as MEZ in Oakwood Chapter 8299.
At the same time Robert was inducted as H.
I am honoured by the trust placed in me by the companions, and want to underline just how friendly all forms of Freemasonry is in @westkentmasons
After a considerable absence from posting - I had a very enjoyable Royal Arch Chapter meeting yesterday.
I am fortunate to be a member of such a warm and friendly (and knowledgable) group.
Feeling blessed
@Sir2513 Really great to see Bro. Brian get the recognition he has long deserved with his London Grand Rank.
I am so pleased for him, and for Sir Walter St John lodge.
Onwards and upwards
Great meeting of West Kent Masters no.5778 this afternoon at Oakley House.
If you are a Master or Past Master in West Kent do come along to our next meeting and perhaps even join.
Very proud yesterday to have been installed as the JW of West Kent Masters Lodge for the ensuing year. Very honoured and grateful for the confidence placed in me.
@VasBlackwood Great to speak tonight Brother, thank you for your time with us in West Kent this evening, and I wish you well with your charity aims.
Keep well my brother
Is anyone else now really missing our meetings? Meeting by Zoom is great to keep ticking over, but I always finish a Zoom meeting with massive regret that we can't yet get together properly.
Just back from @Sir2513 at FMH. A very satisfying raising for Bro Jack. An honour and unexpected pleasure to be asked to stand in as JW for part of the ceremony.
A lodge on the up.
The Mason who shows up when he'd rather stay home,
Who fulfills his obligations even when they are not easy,
Who pushes forward despite hesitation or fatigue.
That is the Mason who refines his stone.
