On Sunday, November 11th, the Swansea Remembrance Day service will be held at St Mary’s Church, Swansea at 2.00 pm.
A small delegation of Swansea Brethren, led by the Deputy Provincial Grand Master will lay a wreath at that service in memory of Swansea Brethren who paid the ultimate price and served in the Great Wars.
All members of the Craft, particularly Swansea based Brethren and their wives or partners, are invited along in support of the Craft at that service.
The next in the series of Organ Concerts will be given by the distinguished organist Darius Battiwalla, Leeds City Organist, at 18:15 for an hour on Wednesday 14th November (the same day as the next Supreme Grand Chapter Convocation).
The concert will, as usual, be projected on the walls of the Grand Temple. Tickets are free but should be booked at: http://bit.ly/FMH-Concert-Nov-2018
A Blue Plaque has been unveiled in Treorchy to commemorate the involvement of Freemasonry in the Valley community.
Phil Hanney (pictured left) was invited to join the South Wales Provincial Grand Master Gareth Jones OBE (pictured right) in the task of unveiling the Blue Plaque.
The plaque is now secured proudly on the RAFA Pub in Bute Street for all to see, as a long standing reminder to the community of the fine Masonic heritage and contribution established in the valley.

The New and Young Masons Clubs Conference is the largest annual event for New and Young Masons Clubs in the United Kingdom. For the first time, the NYMC Conference will be crossing the border as The Colonnade Club welcomes committee members, representatives and leaders of the Craft to the Province of South Wales.
Please join us on Saturday, 27th October, 2018, at Cardiff Masonic Hall. We will be discussing what deliberate steps we can take to improve the Masonic experience for new and young Freemasons.
Tickets cost £20 per delegate and is open to committee members of NYMCs or representatives from provinces without an NYMC. There will be two plenary ‘feedback’ sessions during the day to share group discussions with the conference at large.
In addition, there will be a key note speech before each plenary session to guide and inspire our discussions. After the Conference, we will be enjoying an Initiation ceremony at Universities Lodge No.5461, where the Immediate Past Chairman of the Colonnade Club will be in the Chair! We look forward to seeing you there!
