W. Bro. D Roy Mills, PPrJGW - RIP

It is with the deepest regret that we record the passing to the Grand Lodge Above of our esteemed brother, Roy Mills, who had only so recently been honoured with the rank of Past Provincial Junior Grand Warden by our Provincial Grand Master.

Roy was an inspiration to us all. We record the condolences of all the brethren of this lodge to his widow, Sybil.

In the words of one of our rituals, "Roy, you lived respected and died regretted". Rest in Peace.

Our Last Meeting - Wednesday 6th April 2011

Our last meeting took place at Freemasons' Hall, Crane Street, Salisbury, Wiltshire on Wednesday 6th April 2011. The meeting took the form of passing Bro. Richard Watts to the Degree of a Fellowcraft (Second Degree) and Bro. Lee Hill was also be presented with his Grand Lodge Certificate by Past Provincial Grand Master, Brian Edwick. The Worshipful Master conducted the ceremony of passing and W. Bro. Steve Lindsay gave the explanation of the tracing board. An excellent festive board followed - pate and French toast, chicken ham and leek pie, a selection of delightful desserts and cheese and biscuits. The Charity Key Box now stands at the princely sum of over £950 with only eight keys left. A good chance therefore remains to win a sizable amount of money and give an equal amount to charitable causes. Alms collected amounted to just over £25 for other charities.
