Keeping going in a COVID Pandemic. Grace Dieu Lodge has been unable to meet in person during the recent COVID 19 pandemic, however that hasn’t stopped us. Brethren have been meeting regularly for social evenings on Zoom enjoying the opportunity to gather to gather and share a little of our masonic life together. These zoom evenings have included brief reports on different activities in the lodge, time for social interaction and an informal toast to Absent Brethren.
On Saturday 3rd August a group of members of Grace Dieu Lodge together with their families and friends enjoyed a walk through the Leicestershire countryside with a picnic in the grounds of Mount St Bernard Abbey and a couple of stop off points on route for some liquid refreshment. A very enjoyable day was had by all. Thanks go to the Worshipful master W Bro Paul Gregory for organising the day out.
On Thursday 9th May, the Grace Dieu Lodge gathered at the Masonic Hall in Coalville for the annual Installation meeting, on this occasion, they were honoured by the presence of the Provincial Grand Master R.W.Bro. David Hagger.
During the evening, Paul Gregory was installed for the first time as Master of the Lodge, who was then pleased to invest Guy Adkin as Senior Warden, and Alan Lindsay as Junior Warden, before proceeding with the investiture of the rest of the officers for the year.
Following the installation, the Provincial Grand Master was presented with a most generous donation of £1,409.50 for the Leicestershire & Rutland 2022 Festival. This included proceeds from the Lodge social fundraising events over the last year and is in addition to the £622.50 already presented to the Festival.
The Master and his Lady, together with a number of members of Grace Dieu Lodge, their wives and partners and other guests, enjoyed an excellent Ladies Festival at Birstal Golf Club. The evening began with a Prosecco Reception, followed by a sumptuous meal. Entertainment was provided by Dean Thomas singing the “Sounds of Swing” before everyone danced the night away with the resident DJ. A raffle held during the evening raised £430 for ‘Keep the Beat’ Children’s Cardiac Charity and the 2022 MCF Festival.
