Hendre Lodge No. 3250, one of two Past Master’s Lodges within the Province held their Election night at Cardiff Masonic Hall on Thursday 23rd January, 2025.
Brethren from across the Province were in attendance to support the Worshipful Master, V.W.Bro. Peter Jones, PDepProvGM, accompanied by his Wardens and Officers.
Before the Lodge was opened we received an insightful presentation from Mr J. Andrew Thomas a recently retired Consultant Urological Surgeon, Chairman and co-founder of Prostate Cymru Charity, entitled “Let’s talk Prostate Health”.
After the presentation the Lodge was opened, and the evening began with the successful ballot of no fewer than 8 Worshipful Brethren becoming joining members of Hendre Lodge demonstrating the enthusiasm and support for Freemasonry in South Wales.
Next item on the agenda was to elect a Worshipful Master for the ensuing year, Hendre Lodge are delighted to announce that the Worshipful Master elect will be W.Bro. David Hackman, PAProvGM.
The Lodge then welcomed AProvGM, W.Bro. Robert. G Payne, 2032 Festival Chairman who gave an extremely positive and heartwarming presentation concerning the upcoming festival, outlining the impact of continuous giving, expressing the importance of supporting the festival and pledging to Lodge covenants, W.Bro. Robert was pleased to announce that he has appointed W.Bro. Martyn. P Wake as Deputy Chairman for the 2032 festival.
Prior to closing the Lodge the Worshipful Master, V.W.Bro. Peter Jones was delighted to donate on behalf of the Lodge and its Members; £750.00 to Prostate Cymru, and £500.00 to a further 6 charities.
These significant and generous donations were selected by members of the Lodge, after the Worshipful Master proposed at the previous meeting that a sum of money from the Lodge account be donated to various charities.
Almost 100 Brethren were in attendance for the after proceedings, special thanks to Cardiff Masonic Hall for providing us with delicious food and wonderful hospitality. We look forward to seeing as many brethren as possible for the Installation of our Worshipful Master Elect, W.Bro. David Hackman on Thursday 23rd of October, 2025.
