Pictured is the MEZ (John Millington) and J (Pete Williams) of Eyton Chapter of St. John No. 601. This is the first time that the MEZ, H and J have all been members of The Iron Bridge Lodge No. 9897. Unfortunately the H (Simon Clayton) was summoned to London by his work at short notice so another picture opportunity in September!

Congratulations to one of our founders. Great night Bob

A truly memorable evening at St Milburga Lodge.

It was a pleasure to see brethren from St Milburga Lodge joined by visitors from lodges across Shropshire, along with members of the Provincial team, all coming together to support the Lodge and one of its brethren as he advanced to his next degree.

The ceremony itself was excellent, well delivered, smoothly managed despite many moving parts, and carried out with real care and sincerity. A particularly poignant moment was the heartfelt eulogy to Bro Eddie Mansfield, who has recently passed to the Grand Lodge Above. He was clearly held in great affection, and his memory was honoured with dignity and respect.

The evening was rounded off perfectly with a lovely meal, good conversation, and a few well earned pints, exactly how good Freemasonry should be enjoyed.

My thanks to St Milburga Lodge for their warm welcome and congratulations to all involved on a fine night of Freemasonry.

Happy 11th Birthday  to us!!!🥂

A Christmas message from our Provincial Grand Master..
As the Christmas season draws near and we prepare to welcome a new year, I extend to each of you my sincere fraternal greetings and best wishes. This time of reflection offers us the opportunity to look back with gratitude on all that has been achieved during the past year. I am immensely proud of everything we all have achieved in the Province of Shropshire, the commitment, enthusiasm, and goodwill you have shown, particularly through our successful community engagement. Our efforts in supporting local charities, engaging with community groups, and demonstrating the values we share beyond our lodge rooms have enhanced our reputation and strengthened our connection with those we
serve. Alongside this, we continue to make encouraging progress as we move steadily towards our target for the 2030 Festival. The generosity and determination shown across the Province are a testament to what can be achieved when we work together with a shared purpose. Our hard working Festival Committee are also very appreciative of all the support. While there is still work ahead, the momentum we have built gives great confidence for the years to come. At Christmas, we are reminded of the importance of kindness, charity, and fellowship, all principles that lie at the very heart of our order. May this season bring peace and happiness to you and your families, and may the New Year offer renewed energy, good health, and further opportunities to promote Freemasonry in Shropshire. Thank you for your continued support and dedication. I look forward to continuing to enjoy your company in the coming year on our journey together.
With warm fraternal regards and every good wish for Christmas and the New Year
David
