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.

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.
