On the morning of Saturday 30th November Freemasons from all around the province congregated to witness one of the highlights of our provincial calendar.
As usual, Provincial Stewards Lodge No.154 sprang into action, bringing the necessary accouterments and setting up the Temple. Once completed, the escort team and officers of the demonstration carried out their final rehearsals before heading to an evening of relaxation, ready for the big day.
With an audience representing the Provincial Executive led by the Provincial Grand Master, R.W.Bro. Rodney Charles Bignell as well as members of many of the Valencia Lodges and visitors from Murcia and beyond, the Worshipful Master, Bro. Manuel Guillen, a member of Hiram Abif 80, conducted an exemplary 1st degree ceremony in Spanish and English. The Candidate, Bro. David Paris Singer, who had been Initiated into Freemasonry using the Spanish Ancient Scottish Rite on 19th January this year received his initiation, this time using Valencian Emulation Ritual.
The Provincial Grand Master congratulated the team for the demonstration, which was carried out in an exemplary way before the lodge was closed.
Many brethren then continued to a Festive Board where the raffle raised 970€ which, with the alms collection of 291.13€ taken earlier.

Puerto de Xàbia Lodge No 58 has made a donation of €500 to Todos Juntos Jávea.
Commenting, Worshipful Master John Young said, “Since the tragic events unfolded in Valencia there has rightly been a huge focus on helping the victims of the DANA floods. All of the Lodges here in Jávea and across the Province have given generously to the Red Cross Appeal and have collected and delivered vital goods and supplies to the needy in Valencia.”
John continued, “But we didn’t want to forget that, although the situation in Valencia is critical, there are also people in need closer to home and Todos Juntos Jávea do fabulous work in our local community.”
Marion Kenworthy, Secretary of Todos Juntos Jávea was delighted to receive the donation from John Young. She said, “On behalf of everyone at Todos Juntos Jávea, I would like to thank John and all of his colleagues in the Puerto de Xàbia Lodge for the very generous donation of €500.”

HELP receive donations from the province
Brethren from the Provincial Grand Lodge of Valencia , were very pleased to be able to deliver a large number of donations collected from local lodges at the Costa Nova Masonic Centre to the HELP shop in Javea. These much-needed items will be added to and delivered to those in need who are still suffering in the recent flood-affected areas of Valencia.

Provincial Ladies’ Night
Please see below the words the Provincial Grand Master used before the event continued:
You are all aware of the tragic events affecting the people of Northern Valencia. I stand here with a heavy heart not imagining the chaos and pain caused by the floods that these poor people are going through. The government has announced 3 days of mourning calling for all public events to be cancelled.
I have had conversations with the Grand Master who has graciously agreed that this event can take place after assuring him that proceeds will be donated to the victims.
Please join me for 1 minute silence in memory of those who have sadly lost their lives.
