On Friday, 19th September, the Brethren of Jávea Lodge No. 40, together with their guests, assembled at the elegant Salones Canor in Teulada to honour and celebrate the invaluable contribution of their Ladies to the life of the Lodge and the wider fraternity.
The evening commenced with a sparkling Cava reception in the venue’s beautiful gardens, where guests were entertained by the delightful vocals of Becky BB.
The formal proceedings began as the Worshipful Master, W. Bro. Alex Wilkins, and his wife Jean were announced by the Master of Ceremonies, W. Bro. Peter Farrell, and warmly greeted with enthusiastic applause from all present.
A sumptuous four‑course banquet followed, accompanied by a plentiful supply of fine wine and beer. Throughout the meal, Becky BB continued to provide a charming musical backdrop, enhancing the convivial atmosphere.
Following dinner, the Loyal Toast to His Majesty King Felipe VI was proposed, after which Bro. Paul Lewis delivered a heartfelt and entertaining Toast to the Ladies. Jean Wilkins responded with a witty and engaging speech, which was warmly received by all.
The evening concluded in lively fashion as DJ Mick Dennison took to the stage, swiftly filling the dance floor and ensuring that Brethren and guests alike danced the night away in true fraternal spirit.
In keeping with cherished Masonic tradition, the Lodge organised a splendid raffle offering a range of attractive prizes. Thanks to the generosity of the guests and the proceeds from ticket sales, a total of over 1,700€ was raised.
Commenting on the success of the evening, the Worshipful Master said: “My chosen charity for my year in office is the Balcón al Mar Voluntarios Firefighters. They do so much to protect the town of Jávea, and I am very proud that our Lodge is able to support their efforts.”
