2025 Provincial Calendar
It’s nearly That Time of Year again!
Yes, the Christmas decorations are already up in the high street and it’s time to recycle last year’s Christmas jumper.
Here is a novel idea and a great way to support the 2026 Provincial Festival.
Bro’s Barry Hovell and Hamish McConnachie have produced a 2025 Calendar featuring some of the great events held within our Province in 2024. This is a lovely and practical way of supporting the 2026 Festival with a useful and eye-catching addition to your home or office.
The calendars are a bargain price of only 10€ each and will be available for purchase from Barry at the Provincial Ladies’ Night and at the Provincial Lodge of Instruction.
Calendars can also be ordered from Barry directly by emailing him at: hovellbarry2@gmail.com
We will produce another calendar for 2026 and hope to have a photo competition with the best Masonic pictures included, so dust off those cameras and get ready for those upcoming events.

Las Salinas Ladies Night – Note for your diary
A Night to Remember: Freemasons Ladies Night shines in Denia
On October 5th, Javea 40 hosted yet another unforgettable Ladies Night at the Marriott Hotel in Denia. This glamorous evening, led by Worshipful Master Robin Tillbrook and his wife Teresa, celebrated the invaluable support of the wives and partners who play a vital role in the lodge’s success.
The event was a perfect blend of elegance and entertainment. One hundred and twenty guests were welcomed with a cava reception, accompanied by the lively rhythms of the Poco Loco Steelpan Band, setting the mood for an evening of fun and festivity. As the night progressed, the magic continued—quite literally! Magic Circle member Colin Kenward entertained with his captivating table magic, adding a touch of wonder to the dining experience. To top it all off, guests danced the night away to the vocals of Matt Mason.
In true Javea 40 spirit, the evening wasn’t just about entertainment. Over €1000 was raised for the 2026 Festival and the Javea Autism Association, a cause particularly close to Robin and Teresa’s hearts.

Santa Faz travel back to the swinging 60s
The Santa Faz Lodge held their annual theme night on Saturday 29th of September at the International Club in El Campello. This year’s theme was the swinging sixties and the Brethren, Ladies and guests obviously spent a lot of time and effort in digging out their old clothes from many years ago. Entertainment was supplied by Brother Craig Smith from the San Juan De Espana Lodge who also supported the night with a contingent of Brothers and their good Ladies.
The sixties night was the last social function of the year under the guardianship of our Worshipful Master Ivan Beckett and his good lady Pat. Ivan hands over the mantle of the Lodge to Greg Hustler in October.
The night was also attended by Irena Bodnarec from the charity MABS CANCER SUPORT one of the Santa Faz charities for 2023 – 2024. Irena was presented with a cheque for 2500 Euros which will go towards purchasing two specialist beds for cancer sufferers in our area.

Provincial Garden Party ends with a bang!
On Wednesday 4th September the weather in and around Pedreguer crackled and banged with thunderstorms. But a little weather was not going to stop around 90 brethren, families, and friends having a great time at the annual Provincial Garden Party at the Los Arcos restaurant.
The only change to the schedule was that we held the event in the spacious indoor room provided for us.
Many of the Provence’s Lodges were represented including a large contingent from the Spanish, Hiram Abiff
No.80
Following our usual format the guests bring the food and the theme of dressing the tables and holding the best/worst men’s shirt competition resulted in one of the 2 Oliva LaSafor tables winning a bottle of Cava, while the ‘man with the shirt’ was David Clarke, also of Oliva!
As always with Masonic events a raffle was held with a large selection of prizes which was generously supported providing the evening with an overall 1250€ for the Provincial Masters fund
Entertainment for the evening was provided by a well-known Spanish duet Lucille Blues, with their individual take on Rock & Country music. Gary “Woody” Woodward also entertained us with his singing to get a few of the ladies on the dance floor
.
The evening wound up with everyone stepping outside to watch the fireworks before heading home.
