Byron Calloway, a lecturer brought some students from the University of South Wales to be shown around the three temples in Cardiff Masonic Hall. They listened to a summary of some of the recent activities carried out by Freemasons of
South Wales.
Twenty-four year old Carwyn Price from Aberdare said: “It was great to learn something about the largest and oldest fraternity in the world and although many of us pass the building every day to attend university we knew absolutely nothing about what it was or who modern-day Freemasons are or what they do.”
W.Bro Roger Richmond APGM spoke with passion and pride about his involvement in Freemasonry. He stated that: “It is undeniable that Freemasonry has suffered from negativity in the media and that membership numbers have fallen in recent times. However occasions such as this will help people to see a more true picture of Freemasonry and learn something of the amazing charitable works that we engage in.”
Pictured with the students in the main Temple at the Cardiff with W.Bro Roger Richmond is W.Bro. Graham Wilcox a Past Master of a Cardiff Lodge and a Senior Provincial Grand Lodge Officer.
