2025 Ladies Night

The culmination of the Worshipful Master's very successful year took place at Frimley Hall Hotel in Camberley on 22nd March.

A packed house of members and guests had a wonderful night of entertainment
and fine food. A raffle on the evening raised £435 for Alexander Devine
Children's Hospice Service. This brought the total raised for the charity during the year to nearly £2,000 - a wonderful achievement. After the fine food, there was dancing into the small hours, accompanied by a lovely singer.
A great time was had by all.

2024 Worshipful Master's Lunch

The first social occasion of the new Worshipful Master’s year was held on Sunday 2nd June.
An immensely successful lunch was held for members, friends and one child at The Cricketers on the Green, Pirbright, Surrey.
We were blessed with beautiful weather in lovely surroundings, great food and wonderful company. What could be better?
The two photographs show the happy party enjoying an excellent lunch.
Well, we did have a great time and to embellish the occasion raised the sum of £140 for “Alexander Devine Children’s Hospice Service”.
Further social events are planned, including a grand summer barbecue party and a Ladies’ Festival.

Worshipful Master and Wardens 2024-2025

2018 04 Installation

In April 2024 W.Bro. A.D. (David) Matthews was installed as 87th Worshipful Master of Camberley Lodge, during which he commented that the lodge was in good heart as he was able to appoint light blue members in every progressive office from Junior Warden to Steward.
Sadly Senior Warden elect Bro. Peter Brierley was unable to attend the Installation ceremony as he was incapacitated by a serious eye problem.  He will be installed at a later meeting.
However, the new Worshipful Master announced that his year would contain a full programme of activities and that his charity for the year will be Alexander Devine Childrens' Hospice Service, looking after children with life limiting illnesses.  A particularly deserving cause.
All three degree ceremonies will be worked and we are especially fortunate to have at least one candidate for Initiation in the pipeline.
W.Bro. John Hawley retired from the office of Secretary, after  8 years, due to ill health.  He has done a great job in difficult circumstances.  That office was taken by W.Bro. Rick Comber.

Keith Buist, 50 years in Freemasonry!

2018 04 Installation

In 2023 W.Bro. Keith Buist PPAGDC celebrated his 50th year in Freemasonry. Having been Initiated in Lodge Caledonian 195 in Scotland, he was presented with a commemorative certificate by his Mother Lodge. Similarly, the certificate was to be presented to him in Camberley Lodge. However, on the day of the presentation W.Bro. Keith, who had been suffering from ill health, broke his leg at home in an accident. Such a momentous occasion could not be allowed to pass, so Keith's son Bro. David Buist stepped in to receive the certificate on his father's behalf.

Bro. David Buist is shown in the photograph receiving the certificate from W.Bro. Chin Guan Hwang SGD Assistant Provincial Grand Master.
