2025 Provincial Grand Assembly

2025 Provincial Grand Assembly

The 2025 Provincial Grand Assembly was a resounding success, attracting over 180 Brethren and numerous dignitaries from Spain and other countries.

The Assembly adhered to established ceremonial protocols and demonstrated the precision observed in prior Assemblies, with Provincial officers exhibiting exemplary performance.

Let us remember the investiture of the Provincial Officers for the year 2025/2026. Congratulations to those who have been promoted.

The current Worshipful Masters and Entered Apprentices had the great honour of being presented to the Provincial Grand Master.

It was an honour to recognize those brethren with distinguished long service with the presentation of their certificates.

The Provincial Grand Master presented the Mason of the Year award to W. Bro. Peter Johnson and W. Bro. Ian Bullock.

Approximately 130 brethren gathered for the festive board, enjoying excellent food, wine, and most importantly, wonderful company, with the Provincial Grand Master formally recognising our newest member with taking wine with him.

The Provincial Grand Master offers his sincere gratitude to all attendees and eagerly anticipates welcoming everyone again next year.

Reminder for the 2025 Provincial Golf Tournament on 29th May

We would like to remind everyone that the 2025 Provincial Golf Tournament will take place at the Bonalba Golf Club in Mutxamel, Alicante, on Thursday, 29th May.

Once again, Masons and their guests from across the Province of Valencia will gather to navigate the picturesque yet challenging fairways of Bonalba Golf Course.

The excitement is palpable as the returning champions from 2024 – Nigel Parker of the Jávea 40 Lodge and Alex Henderson of the Oliva La Safor 112 Lodge – prepare to defend their title against a strong and competitive field.

2024 winners Nigel Parker and Alex Henderson with APGM Terry Whitehead

Participants will compete for the coveted John Harvey Masonic Memorial Trophy, a tribute to one of the tournament’s founders who passed away just a year after the event was inaugurated.

Beyond the thrill of competition, this tournament is also a heartfelt effort to support charitable causes within the community. Organiser W. Bro. Peter Johnson, the Provincial Grand Charity Steward, emphasised the importance of philanthropy to Freemasons, noting, “At last year’s Golf Tournament, we raised over €10,000 through business sponsorships, contributions from local Masonic Lodges sponsoring individual holes, and the entry fees from all our golfers. This year, we aim to exceed that number, with all proceeds donated to Masonic charities.”

With a blend of spirited competition and community generosity, this event promises to be a memorable day for all involved.

If you’d like to play in the tournament or just come along to support the golfers, please reach out to Richard Davis at richard.davis@golfbonalba.com or Peter Johnson on pgcs@glpvalencia.com.
