Fishguard Flower Festival 2013

-
This was a lovely event a few years ago. At the time we only published a couple of photos, but there were loads taken, so I have turned them in to a little film set to music.

The 2013 Fishguard Flower and Craft Festival was organised by Kemes Lodge 3152 and was held in July in the Masonic Hall Fishguard.

Floral arrangements were provided by various clubs in Fishguard including the Lions, Rotary’ WI, Soroptomists, North Pembrokeshire Flower Club, Fishguard and Goodwick Town Council and various individuals.

The local history society provided an extensive gallery of historic photographs.
Local artists and craftsmen exhibited over 100 displays.

The Lodge room provided a unique display area for over 100 displays of patch work and quilting by local residents and there were practical demonstrations of lace making and quilting.

The Goodwick brass band gave an afternoon concert outside the Masonic hall. United Grand Lodge provided information on donations to non Masonic charities. Refreshments were provided by family and friends of the Kemes and Strumble Lodges. The Festival was well attended by Lodge members their families and the local community and raised £1850 for the 2015 Festival.

The Worshipful Master of Kemes Lodge W Bro Robert Smith thanks all who made this Festival such a great community event.

Well what funny times we find ourselves in. I've gone from being really busy, travelling here, there and everywhere, to having a clear diary. The only things left to do are from my wife's "wish list" and I'm running out of excuses fast! With Freemasonry suspended, my inbox is pretty empty, well when I say pretty empty, I mean completely empty. We've done our best to keep the West Wales website up to date with the latest Government Guidance, but I am sure that we're all sitting at home watching the television, so no one is short of guidance, quite the reverse. All we have to do is make sure we follow it and keep our fingers crossed that the situation improves. We haven't made any firm decisions about when and where to reschedule the events which we have had to postpone. I think the time for that will be when the situation is a bit clearer. If you're one of the lucky ones who has received an appointment or promotion in Provincial Grand Lodge

Vincent van Gogh For the purposes of this set of family members you need to pronounce Gogh like the Americans do "Go" to rhyme with snow. To keep the peace with our Provincial Grand Charity Steward and proud Dutchman, Dirk den-Hartog, I have included a tutorial on how it should actually be pronounced at the end. Have You Met the Van Gogh Family? Did you know the painter Vincent van Gogh had a very large family? There's his dizzy aunt, Verti Gogh The brother who ate prunes, Gotta Gogh The brother who worked at a convenience store, Stop N Gogh His magician uncle, Wherediddy Gogh His Mexican cousin, A Mee Gogh The Mexican cousin's American half brother, Gring Gogh The nephew who drove a stage coach, Wellsfar Gogh The constipated uncle, Can't Gogh The bird lover uncle, Flamin Gogh The fruit loving cousin, Man Gogh An aunt who taught positive thinking, WaytoGogh The little bouncy nephew, Poe Gogh A sister who loved disco, Go Gogh And his niec

Freemasons Hall December 2019 Brethren, as you have passed through the month of your lockin, let me congratulate you on being a sensible member of our ancient and honourable institution. Ancient no doubt it is, as having subsisted from time when we used to meet, and honourable it must be acknowledged to be, as by a natural tendency it con­duces to make safe those who are obedient to its guideline. Indeed, no institution can boast a more solid foundation than that on which Freemasonry rests - the practice of every safe and social distancing. And to so high an eminence has its credit been ad­vanced that every day Grand Officers them­selves, have not thought it derogatory to their dignity to exchange the black shoe for the carpet slipper, have supported our situation and not joined in our assemblies. As a Freemason, let me recommend to your most serious contemplation the Volume of Government Guidance, charging you to consider it as the unerring standard of truth and safety, to
