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.

On Friday 25th October Lodge Dovre held one of its regular meetings which was attended by 31 brethren from Norway and Iceland.

Tuesday 22nd of October saw the Installation of W.Bro Jason Fowler at the Casa Caty Lodge room in Carlos D’En Sarria. Jason took over the reins of the Lodge from the capable hands of W.Bro Tony Hesketh Field. W.Bro Fowler and his Officers are to be congratulated on an excellently worked Installation. It was a full house with many Grand Lodge and Provincial Officers in attendance including W.Bro Jorge Prieto Cueto APGM as the official visitor accompanied by RW. Bro Phil Gibson–Daw, ProvGInsp. Many Brothers from other Lodges were also in attendance including nine Brethren from Santa Faz No48 making it 38 Dining Brethren, an excellent turnout.

The Installation of R.W. Bro. Dave Wynn took place on Saturday the 19th of March 2024 at Sociedad Compás in Cuidad Quesada. It was an excellent Ceremony with a huge attendance and over 60 Brethren dining at Cooper’s Bar.

Please see the photos (courtesy of W. Bro. Jorge Prieto). Far too many people to name, but you all know who they are.

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.
