Jávea Lodge No. 40 hosted its annual Ladies Night on Friday 29th May, bringing together 100 Brethren, partners and guests for an elegant and memorable evening at Salones Carrasco in Jávea. As always, the evening was the Lodge’s way to thank our Ladies for all their support during the year.

The night began in style with a sparkling cava reception, accompanied by music from saxophonist Tania Plahay, setting a relaxed and celebratory tone for the festivities. The Worshipful Master, W. Bro. Kevin Hamilton, warmly welcomed everyone and expressed the Lodge’s appreciation for the continued support shown by families, friends and the wider community.

Guests enjoyed a beautifully prepared three‑course dinner, followed by the traditional Toast to the Ladies, delivered with charm and sincerity by W. Bro. Barry Rowe. The response, offered by Nicole Hamilton, was heartfelt and warmly received.

The evening continued with music and dancing, courtesy of The Entertainers, who kept the dance floor lively throughout. A raffle featuring fantastic prizes added to the excitement and generosity of the night.

Thanks to the kindness of all who attended, an impressive 1,500€ was raised in support of Cancer Care Jávea and the development of the Centro de Marina Alta in Ondara — two causes that make a meaningful difference in our local community.

The event was a true celebration of friendship, gratitude and charitable spirit, reflecting the very best of Jávea Lodge No. 40 and its extended family.

Members, ladies, and friends of Arenal Deportiva Lodge No 65 enjoyed a truly memorable day yesterday, 23rd May, as we explored the beautiful and historic town of Llutxent — the hometown of our Worshipful Master.

The day was filled with fascinating discoveries as we were guided through the town’s many historic landmarks, learning about the rich heritage and captivating stories that have shaped this charming community over the centuries.

Following the enjoyable tour, everyone gathered together to indulge in a magnificent paella feast. The delicious meal, combined with wonderful company and a fantastic atmosphere, rounded off a perfect day that was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended.

The universal nature of Freemasonry was on full display on April 24th, 2026, as geographical borders were set aside in the name of brotherly love. A strong delegation of 13 members from Caledonia Lodge No. 68, from the Province of Valencia, made the journey to the Province of Andalusia to attend the 213th Regular Meeting of Almeria Lodge No. 74.

The meeting, held at the Masonic Temple, Hostal Rural, Turre, served as a powerful reminder that Masonic fellowship is not confined by provincial boundaries. The visiting Brethren were privileged to witness a superb Initiation Ceremony for Bro. Paul Reynolds, whose entrance into the Craft was marked by the presence of Brethren from across two different jurisdictions.

The fellowship moved from the Temple to a vibrant Festive Board, where connection were further cemented through a series of significant presentations:

• W. Bro. Philip Wells (Worshipful Master of Caledonia 68) presented a commemorative plaque featuring the Caledonia Lodge insignia to W. Bro. William Jack Smith (Worshipful Master of Almeria 74), which was warmly received.
• In a reciprocal gesture of Andalusian hospitality, a beautiful set of three hand-turned gavels was presented to W. Bro. Philip Wells as a lasting memento of the cross-province visit.
• In a final, remarkable act of inter-provincial solidarity, Almeria Lodge No. 74 donated 150 Euros to Caledonia Lodge which will be used to purchase units in the name of Almeria Lodge No. 74 within Unidad Fraternal, ensuring that this visit leaves a lasting charitable legacy in the name of their Andalusian hosts.

The Brethren of Caledonia Lodge No. 68 extend their deepest gratitude toW. Bro. William Jack Smith and the Brethren of Almeria Lodge No. 74 for their exceptional hospitality and the true spirit of Masonry shown during this memorable visit.
