23rd September 2023 – Installation Meeting at Alderson House, Warwick

What a wonderful and memorable day we had at Alderson House in Warwick. Our Installation ceremony was dignified but good humoured.

Mark Chafer the Installing master was faultless ( but then we have come to expect that!) supported by his Officers. The incoming Master Mark Pierpoint was excellent and clearly proud and looking forward to a great year for which he has great plans including a proper Lodge meeting within the amazing Silverstone motor racing museum

We had well over 50 present and some had travelled notable distances to be with us.
We were especially honoured to have the Provincial Grand Master Philip Hall as presiding officer and he was in fine form.
We are very lucky to have such an enthusiastic and harmonious Lodge and long may it continue and our new Master will be working hard to ensure that and we wish him well and will support to the fullest

29th July 2023 – Regular Lodge Meeting at Long Eaton

The Lodge has been out to the province of Derbyshire for today’s meeting held at Long Eaton Masonic centre
A first class passing ceremony for Bro Niall Chafer of Stonegate Lodge 6118 west riding Yorkshire by his father Mark the WM of the Square Wheels Lodge … not one word did the WM miss out, absolutely excellent. He was ably assisted by the stand in SW Howard Smith the AstPGM for Warwickshire who must have been under great pressure as the brethren were just waiting for him to make a mistake ! They were disappointed he was excellent. Doug Squires one of the bookends delivered the long version of the 2nd degree tool perfectly…. In all, as good a ceremony as you will see.
Being a motoring lodge we then enjoyed a run out to Calke Abbey in Derbyshire a stately home in a state of arrested decay.
Many thanks to Phil Cottrell for words and photo.

17th February 2020 – help for multiple sclerosis

Peter Manning, APGM, was delighted to present a cheque in the sum of £1000 to Paul Hampton, Fundraising Officer and Events Organiser for the Leamington/Warwick Branch of the Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Society. This was from money raised during his year as Primus Master of the Square Wheels Lodge No 9966.

Also pictured is Lottie Campion who is in the early stages of MS.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a condition that affects your brain and spinal cord. In MS, the coating that protects your nerves (myelin) is damaged. This causes a range of symptoms like blurred vision and problems with how we move think and feel. More than 130,000 people in the UK have MS. In the UK people are most likely to find out they have MS in their thirties, forties and fifties. But the first signs of MS often start years earlier.
