Camalodunum Donation to F29

DPGMCamalodunum26 2

On 8th September 2026, the Deputy Provincial Grand Master, W Bro John Wilkinson, led a team of active Provincial Officers on a visit to Camalodunum Lodge No. 660, joining the lodge for a Second Degree ceremony and the festive board that followed.

The ceremony was well delivered and warmly received, and the evening continued with good food and good company at the festive board. During the visit, the lodge presented a donation of £2,000 towards the ongoing Festival 2029 (F29) appeal.

W Bro John Wilkinson, Deputy Provincial Grand Master, said:

"It was a pleasure to visit Camalodunum Lodge No. 660 with a team of active Officers and see such a well-delivered Second Degree. The warmth of the welcome and the strength of the fellowship on show tonight are exactly what our Province is built on. I'm also delighted by the lodge's generous £2,000 donation towards Festival 2029, it's a fantastic contribution to a cause that will benefit so many, and it reflects the great spirit of this lodge."

Thank you to Camalodunum Lodge No. 660 for their hospitality, and congratulations on their generous support for F29.
