The Santa Faz Lodge held their annual Beach Walk and BBQ on Saturday 15th March with over 80 Lodge members and guests in attendance. The fantastic sum of 2380 Euros was raised for the Lodge’s annual charities. The Worshipful Master Greg Hustler thanked all those who participated with special thanks to our Chefs Nick Carter, Brian Green , Bob Alchin, and Nick Liddicoat and also to the day’s organiser Barry Hovell and Helen Lovell who produced some fantastic cakes.. Not only did the Lodge raise a fantastic sum, but the weather took pity on us so that everyone had an enjoyable day.

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.
