@BBCArchive The single most British video ever posted.

#OnThisDay 1908: James Bond author Ian Fleming was born. Geoffrey Boothroyd was a gun aficionado who wrote to Fleming asking him to change Bond's signature gun – a Beretta – to one more powerful. In this clip, Boothroyd shows why he thought Bond needed a gun with more oomph.

On Thurs 22nd Feb 2024, one of our PMs, W Bro Bill Starkey ProvGDC, will take the Chair to Initiate his son George. Still time to book in via Ian Chase. Dinner is just £18. @solentmasons @HantsMason

We are lucky enough to be meeting on the night itself. Burns night 2024. Paddy the Piper addresses the Haggis.

@EnglishGamGam @Jonthemon6 @GBNEWS No. A brand new law. For sitting in the car with the engine running whilst stationary. That's the whole point of the article. What used to be acceptable is now an offense.

@Jonthemon6 @GBNEWS Yeah, but never caused me or anyone I know an issue. More scaremongering.

Drivers warned of £80 fine for clearing windscreen frost with method that can 'damage engine components' gbnews.com/lifestyle/cars…

Every time.

Now that was an eventful but eventually disappointing attempt at attending an official visit on the Isle of Wight. Defeated by the weather. The mainland team, down but never out. Back at Southampton. @HantsMason @UGLE_GrandLodge @solentmasons @jw_hamble Osborne Lodge No. 2169

Curry night is tonight! Still time to join us. Come along for a chat. images.app.goo.gl/bnnrBay9pZ6nnq…

The morning after the night before. An absolutely superb Installation meeting last night saw a full house (100+) witness the Induction of Gary Shirley into the Chair of KS. Installing Master Drew Delisle did a fantastic job, ably assisted by his team. If Carlsberg did Freemasonry

A beautiful location for a Provincial Grand Lodge Annual Meeting. Lovely to be with the members of the Province of Gloucestershire. @HantsMason

Happy birthday to His Majesty King Charles. @KensingtonRoyal

A recce visit in advance of our visit to Prince of Wales 1003 and De Carteret 3459 in October. St Helier Masonic centre looks magnificent. A very enjoyable visit and looking forward to returning later in the year. @HantsMason @JerseyFreemason

@6989lodge @HantsMason Enjoy Bros. See you there.

Case ready, new regalia, shiny shoes, suit ready, new gloves…must be AGM week for @HantsMason. Really looking forward to Wednesday seeing everyone plus getting my active position as ADC for this upcoming year. Special shout to all my bro stewards on a special occasion for them.

Superb evening tonight. Necessary absence forced us to field a 'B team ' but they delivered an 'A team' performance. Wonderful to have massive support from @8582Lodge, @LodgeFootball, @WessexLoF8681, Bishopswood Lodge and many others. An Initiation for a superb candidate. Lovely.

First meeting of the @HantsMason Prov Dep GDC's Mess for more than 3 years, with our new Honorary Member who made a presentation of a 50 year award and also the PGM's Certificate of Service to Allan Gregory. A lovely evening.

Absolutely superb support at our Lodge of Instruction meeting tonight. 20 in attendance including a Bro who was only Initiated a couple of weeks ago, a new guest member and also 3 GOs. On the up and up. @solentmasons @HantsMason @UGLE_GrandLodge

Today we are trying to put together a visit to the beautiful island of Jersey. We hope to visit two lodges in two days, including our namesake lodge Prince of Wales No. 1003. COVID restrictions permitting of course.

@roadpoliceBCH They are picking this nonsense up from across the pond. "I don't have to obey these laws because I'm a Sovereign Citizen "

Wootton-driver didn’t think he should stop, show his licence or insurance because “I know the law, I’m travelling in a conveyance - I’m not driving” He was educated, offered an opportunity to explain it to a Judge, he saw the light, but didn’t have insurance. Car seized 2023/130

Members of @POWLodge on our annual visit to our friends at Bishopswood Lodge. An absolutely superb ceremony of Initiation and good fun at dinner where we changed into Christmas ties. @BillStarkey1705 @DavidA95587092 @HantsMason @solentmasons
