The 2008/9 Masonic year started in September 2008, with the installation of Richard Lynch-White as Master of the lodge.

Although he could not attend the meal everyone was delighted to see Bill Blackshaw, and his wife Elizabeth, at the reception. Bill has recently been very ill after a hip operation, so to see him out and about was pleasing for all to see.In February, the Master accompanied by his SW attended a presentation of grants from the “Sussex for Sussex” Masonic Charity, on this particular evening a total of £136000 was given out of which £15000 was given to The Mariners tea rooms in Rye. This restaurant provides work experience and a home for 10 adults with varying degrees of mental handicap.

£1500  was given to Coastway Hospital Radio (based at the Sussex County in Brighton) sponsored by the SW. It was a pleasure that these gifts were handed out by the Provincial Grand Master Ken Thomas.

John Nehls (H. 1972-77) and Matt McCabe (H. 1977-80)It’s been a while since our last London Drinks – almost 2 years, in fact. For these first Drinks of 2010 we had returned to a favourite old haunt of the Association’s London members; The International Bar on St. Martin’s Lane. Unfortunately it appears that it may also be our last time here; the place is to close within a month – a piece of information made privy to Jack Bremer (BCJS 1990-94) before some of the bar staff (much to his and one unfortunate girl’s great embarrassment / shock).
