The October 6th White Table Meeting was in many respects a great success even though some members found the change of date inconvenient and were otherwise engaged. The 12 members present saw a quick meeting which involved  2 joining members from the Spanish constitution being welcomed into the Lodge. We are informed that there may be a few more as well which will be good news for the Lodge. The raffle raised £250.00 which will be going to a good cause the RMBI. We still have much work to do and have 4 new members lined up for next year as well as 2nd and 3rd degrees to complete. There will no doubt be many chances for PMs and younger members to show their knowledge and skills.

Members who feel like travelling should take the opportunity when in Dorset to visit Poole and the Lodge of Amity 132. This Lodge the editor had the pleasure to visit and it was an exceptionally interesting, informative and fun day. The Lodge meets 18 times a year so you should be able make contact and visit. Visiting is one aspect of freemasonry which we should all indulge in as it seems that no matter where you go you will always see something different.

Don't forget the next meeting is our installation meeting and will be held at Freemasons hall on the 8th of January. As this means the 1st of January would normally be a LOI night, it has been decided to cancel that and hope that all members will endeavour to attend the last two on the 11th and 18th December.
