The Lodge of Dawn is very sad to hear of the passing of Jean Hersh, wife of Holocaust survivor Arek Hersh MBE.
Some years ago Jean and Arek accompanied us on a Lodge visit to the National Holocaust Museum where they gave us a presentation on the horrors of antisemitism in World War 2.
May her memory be a blessing.

This week we had a surprise visitor to The Lodge of Dawn 6511. Assistant Provincial Grand Master, Worshipful Brother Malcolm Whiteley, having demanded admission and accepting the gavel from Worshipful Master Dave Jackson, requested that Worshipful Brother Simon Fellerman, be brought to him.

Following a resume of Worshipful Brother Simon's Masonic career he promoted him, on behalf of the Provincial Grand Master, to Past Provincial Senior Grand Warden. A tremendous and well deserved honour.

Everybody here at the Lodge of Dawn 6511 congratulate W Bro Fellerman on his promotion.

'Meet a few of our Members' is a new page on our Lodge of Dawn 6511 website. We invite you to read a brief interview with individual members, why they have joined and what they are getting from their Masonic journey.

The idea is principally to encourage new candidates to apply, particularly when they see what great people we have amongst us. We also see it as a way of introducing ourselves to guests and visitors before arrival.

A big thank you to Eóin, Mark and Martin who have all taken part in this first page. The plan is for more to follow over the coming months.

We thought it would be useful to introduce you to a few of our younger members of the Lodge of Dawn. It will provide you with a little personal insight into who joins, why they join and what they get from being part of our Lodge of Dawn. We have three members for you to ... Read more
