My Message
Worshipful Brother Ian Hunt was installed for the second time as Worshipful Master of The Shoeburyness Lodge 6665 on October 8th 2024.
It was a fine installation by the Installing Master W.Bro Craig Bliss.
We had on this occasion two joining members that took an active office.
Our new Worshipful Master Installed his new officers in fine manner and we had three excellent addresses delivered.
We had an excellent festive board and the Masters Song was delivered by W.Bro. Keith Hudson accompanied by our guest organist W.Bro. Roger Davis.
The working tools were delivered in a perfect manner by our younger brethren.
W.Bro. Ians charity this year will again be Myeloma UK, a charity that supports patients with the blood cancer Myeloma and funds research into the awful illness which is a charity very close to Ian's heart as his lovely wife Marie is a sufferer.
Our Worshipful Master will be holding The Shoeburyness Ladies Festival on May 31st 2025 at Saxon Hall and he invites Brethren to bring as many guests as possible to make this a fabulous occasion for our ladies and also to raise money for his charity.
Further details to be published later.
