On Tuesday 21st April, the Brethren of Oliva La Safor Lodge No. 112 gathered at the Costa Nova Masonic Centre for a meeting marked by ceremony, fellowship and strong inter‑Lodge support.
The Lodge was honoured to welcome 30 attendees, including visiting groups from Jávea Lodge No. 40, Germanies Lodge No. 8, Fidelísima‑Amor Lodge No. 199 and a visiting Brother, W. Bro. Rob Lowe from Rugby Bastion Lodge No. 9896 in England — a fine demonstration of the unity and friendship that characterise our Province and the Craft in general.
The highlight of the evening was the Initiation of Bro. Craig James, conducted under the expert leadership of the Worshipful Master, W. Bro. David Clarke. During the ceremony, Craig was skilfully guided around the Temple by the Junior Deacon, Bro. Colin Kenward, who also had the pleasure of being his Proposer.
The meeting was further distinguished by the presence of the Official Visitor, V.W. Bro. Frank Hogg Wallace, accompanied by his escort of Provincial Stewards, whose attendance added dignity and support to the proceedings.
Following the meeting, 26 Brethren enjoyed a convivial Festive Board, where all traditional toasts were observed in fine spirit. The raffle proved particularly successful, raising 245€ for charitable purposes. In a moment of good fortune, the star prize — a unit in Asociación Fraternal Unidad — was won by Bro. Steve Young, a member of the Official Escort party.
The evening reflected the very best of Freemasonry in Valencia: ceremony conducted with care, visitors welcomed with warmth, and charity supported with enthusiasm.
