Congratulations to the @GnollLodge on a great installation ceremony last night with @assistantpgmsw from @SouthWalesMason in attendance. Well done all for a fantastic evening and good luck to Neath's newest WM, W.Bro. Chris Williams for your year in the Chair.

@RichyEvs1981 You ok fella take it easy

So not sure what has been my worst highlight this week. Getting a POSITIVE Covid-19 result or watching 80 mins of Wales v Georgia #shocking #WALGEO #WALES

It is with great sadness that I have to report of the sudden and unexpected passing of our Charity Steward, W.Bro. Wynford Davies. He was our WM in 2013, a great ritualist who continued to take part in any ceremony whenever he could. He will be greatly missed. #AbsentBrethren

Have a fantastic year W/M & all the best to Vyv for 2021 🥃🥃

@thegreatperkini @Lodge6078 Excellent a fantastic effort 👍👍

As our planned visit to @Lodge6078 had to be called off I am using the time to learn the Welsh national anthem ready for when we can attend. A bit mis-pronounced and a bit out of tune but plenty of time to perfect it. #dorsetfreemasonry #singslikeanEnglishman

Don't forget to take a moment at 8 PM this evening to applaud the #NHS and all other Carers from your doorstep! #NHSThankyou #ClapForOurCarers #ClapforNHS #ClapOurCarers

This evening we should have been paying our annual official visit to @DinamLodge No. 4521 in Penarth but due to the Covid-19 crises, that is not to be at this time! Hope to see you all in the future but in the meantime, brethren of Dinam Lodge, #TimetoToast - To absent brethren.
