Hamtun Lodge No 7083

Great night at Kings Court for Hamtun Lodge’s Ladies Night. Excellent company, food and wine with plenty of popular raffle winners helping to raise £315 for Hearing Dogs for Deaf People

The highlight of the evening was W.Bro. Les Dear's recital of the Working Tools of the Festive Board duly receiving a standing ovation from all. In total £364.80 raised for Sunday Lunch and the MCF.

After which, at the Festive Board, it was a delight to entertain our visitors and guests, in particular the brethren from @Northbourne6827 who made the long trip from across the border - thank you for coming!

An amazing evening at Hamtun Lodge last night. Our first recital of the 1st Degree Lectures in over 20 years. Almost every one from Hamtun Lodge took part in the proceedings including two visitors.

Merry Christmas and best wishes to all our followers and friends from the Worshipful Master and Brethren of Hamtun Lodge. We trust that you’ll have enjoyable and festive day!

Top night of tunes at Hamtun’s Christmas Carol White Table. The raffle raised £310 for the Festival and Almoners fund!

Last night we welcomed Bro Sean Taylor into the Craft in a cracking ceremony by all concerned! Now to plan four 2nd degrees from Oct onwards😱. So ends a great Masonic year for Hamtun Lodge under the guidance of WB Harry Docherty - thank you Worshipful Master!

50 plus brethren and guests from Dorset and Hampshire welcomed Bro Sam Barnes into our wonderful craft along with APGM Ian Preece presenting a surprised WBro Les Dear with his certificate for achieving sixty years in Masonry - yes! 60 years!

Great night at @Hamtun7083 with an excellent third degree ceremony followed by a Burns night supper. Also managed to try my first bottle of festival ale

30+ Brethren and guests received a warm welcome to witness a fantastic 3rd degree ceremony, followed by an excellent Burns Night supper with piped pipes and all the trimmings! Roll on the next four meetings - all 1st degree initiations. Now where is that ritual book?

@HantsMasonSC Congratulations James!

We have great pleasure in announcing that W Bro James Renshaw PPJGW has been appointed South Central Area Festival Chairman. Jim is very enthusiastic to take on the role for the SCArea and we wish him, and the other Area Festival representatives, every success in this role.

Nice to be back after such a long break. Reduced in numbers but not in spirits.

@GtiJazzBlue Thank you, we all had an enjoyable evening. Great to get back into the swing of things.

Missing the members of @Hamtun7083 this Evening, always an enjoyable evening spent in their company. #staysafe Brethren until we meet again. I wish the 6 that are able to attend this evening an enjoyable meeting.

It is estimated that between 80,000 and 200,000 Freemasons were killed by the Nazis during WW2,ordered to wear an inverted red triangle on their clothing as they were considered to be political prisoners.@pgl_york #Freemasonry #HolocaustMemorialDay

Great night on Friday welcoming Jonathan Stainton-Ellis on an Official Visit and, no pressure, initiating a new Brother into our wonderful Craft. All topped off with a fantastic Burns supper! Thanks to all our guests for helping to make it such an excellent evening @HantsMason
