The members of Castle Lodge No 1436 celebrated their 150th anniversary on Monday 15th May 23 at the Sandgate Masonic Centre. Twenty nine guests, including APGM Mark Bassant and others, some from as far afield as Yorkshire joined the members to hear a presentation of the Lodge history presented by W Bro Peter West.
The longest serving member of the Lodge W Bro Richard Parks, generously presented a number of high quality Past Masters jewels he had commissioned at his own personal expense. W Bro Richard was initiated in March 1970, serving as WM in 1979, and then again in 2020 and 2021.
The Lodge Charity Steward Bro Eric Cook presented a cheque for £1000 to APGM Mark Bassant as contribution towards the 2025 Festival. The Lodge has already achieved a silver certificate and aims to achieve Gold by the end of 2023.
