Like thousands of Scots and their friends worldwide, The Santa Faz Freemasons Lodge No 48, hosted a party attended by over 50 brethren, family, and friends, to celebrate the 266th Birthday of Robert Burns. Every year on the 25th of January, haggis is eaten and whisky drunk to a background of ‘Sangs, Tunes and Clatter’, and this was no exception.
Held at the International Club, El Campello, Brother Hamish McConnachie, ably supported by Sue Parks McConnachie, along with Pipe Major Brian Day kept the festive atmosphere alight with renditions of great Scottish ballads, epic poems, and ‘The Immortal Memory’.
However, following the disaster that devastated the villages around Valencia, those attending, also raised around 400€ to continue supporting those affected.
As Worshipful Master, W. Bro. Greg Hustler, reminded everyone, all our enjoyable activities also help us continue Freemasonry’s aim of Charity and Brotherhood.
