❤️ CPR training can save lives

Another valuable East Anglian Air Ambulance community training session, this time with the Cambridgeshire County Council Road Safety Team, who used the one-hour CPR and defibrillator awareness session as part of their Continuing Professional Development (CPD).

The session was delivered by Tony Barrios, East Anglian Air Ambulance Charity volunteer trainer, and Cambridgeshire Freemason, helping the team build confidence in recognising a cardiac arrest, starting CPR and using a defibrillator.

Cambridgeshire Freemasons are proud to support EAAA and its work to bring these potentially lifesaving skills into our local communities.

A New Home for Wisbech Freemasonry

Wisbech Freemasonry has entered a new chapter with the opening and dedication of its impressive new Masonic Centre on Lynn Road.

The building, close to Freedom Bridge, has been transformed from its former use as a police station and magistrates' court into a modern and welcoming home for Freemasonry in the north of the Province.

There is plenty of history within its walls. The present building was opened in 1957, replacing Wisbech's old South Brink police station. Its exterior was designed to complement the Georgian architecture for which Wisbech is renowned.

The building served as both a police station and magistrates' court for many years. The court finally closed in 2011 as part of the national programme of court closures, leaving a prominent building with an uncertain future.

It has now been given a completely new purpose.

Following considerable work by the Trustees, led by their Chairman, W.Bro. Michael Humphrey PGStbB, the former court has been transformed into a facility fit for the future of Wisbech Freemasonry.

The new centre includes the impressive Colin Hutchinson Room, providing a spacious meeting and social area complete with a bar. There are also additional meeting facilities, including the Bill Dastur Provincial Robing Room.

The Lodge room itself has its own piece of Masonic history, with the carpet having been bequeathed by W. Bro. Andrew Pallant PPSGD.

Around 80 Brethren and guests attended the dedication, with the Provincial team led by Provincial Grand Master R.W. Bro. Mark Shields. It was an opportunity to see the results of the hard work that has gone into the project and to recognise the contribution made by the Trustees and everyone involved in bringing the building back into use.

The formal proceedings were followed by an excellent Festive Board, giving everyone the opportunity to relax, enjoy good company and celebrate what has been achieved.

The new centre also represents another chapter in the long Masonic history of Wisbech. For many years, the town's Lodges and Chapter have met at the Masonic Rooms in The Crescent. The new premises provide modern facilities and a larger home in which Wisbech Freemasonry can continue to develop.

There is something particularly appropriate about the building's transformation. A place that once served the community as a police station and courthouse has been given a new lease of life as a place for friendship, fellowship and Freemasonry.

For those who have never ventured as far north as Wisbech, there is now an excellent reason to make the journey.

Isaac Newton University Lodge No. 859 was delighted to host the 2026 Festival of the Association of Medical, University and Legal Lodges (AMULL) at the magnificent Queens’ College, Cambridge.

Members and guests from across England and Wales enjoyed a memorable day of friendship, learning and charity. The day began with an ecumenical service in the College Chapel, with the lessons read by Jonathan Spence, Pro Grand Master of UGLE, and Sir David Wootton, AMULL President and former Assistant Grand Master.

This was followed by a fascinating lecture on 800 years of Queens’ College and Cambridge University history, before guests enjoyed a ch*****ne reception and lunch in the splendid Old Hall.

A wonderful celebration of friendship, learning and the traditions of university Freemasonry.

🎳 Cambridgeshire Masonic Bowls Association

The Cambridgeshire Masonic Bowls Association recently held its Annual General Meeting at Whittlesey Manor Bowls Club.

Despite a disrupted season, with five of the twelve scheduled matches cancelled due to extreme heat, the Association continued to support good causes, donating £250 to Blood Bikes, which was subsequently match-funded by the Province to make £500, along with £100 to the Cambridgeshire Masonic Widows Friendship Club.

The Association also made history with Mrs Gerry Nicholas becoming its first female Chairman for the coming year.

Following the AGM, members enjoyed a keenly contested Pairs Competition for the Rushmore Cup. In a dramatic finish, W.Bro. Roger Kiham and W.Bro. Chris Nicholas took the trophy, pictured here with their prize.

The Association is always keen to welcome new members — and you don't need to have played bowls before! Wives and partners are also very welcome.

It's a friendly and sociable group, representing the Province during the summer against local bowls clubs. There are no joining fees or subscriptions, with members simply paying rink fees when they play.

The Province of Cambridgeshire Masonic Widows Friendship Club recently gathered at Bateman Street, where the ladies were joined by DepProvGM W.Bro. Kevin Mader PAGDC, AssProvGM W.Bro. Edward Williams PADStB, ProvGAlm W.Bro. Alan DeLaune PADStB, Lodge and Chapter Almoners, and Caroline Wales from the Freemasons Charity.

Caroline shared details of the support and services available, with a more extensive presentation planned for a future meeting.
W.Bro. Edward Williams also delivered a fascinating presentation, “The Craft in Open Water”, sharing his remarkable experiences of marathon swimming and drawing some thought-provoking parallels with the support and companionship found within Freemasonry.
From the English Channel and Gibraltar Strait to the 28.5-mile Manhattan Island swim, Ed's stories were both inspiring and deeply personal. The presentation, including two short films, was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.

The afternoon concluded with a buffet lunch, and the DPGM thanked the Committee for all they do for the Province's Widows.
We now look forward to the annual Christmas Lunch at the next meeting. 🎄

Last night, the Cambridgeshire Lodge Of Provincial Grand Stewards marked a very special milestone, the 10th anniversary of its consecration.

The evening was made even more memorable with the unveiling of a time capsule, giving the Brethren an opportunity to contribute items, thoughts and memories that will provide a fascinating glimpse into Freemasonry as it is today.
The capsule will be ceremonially sealed at the Lodge’s next Installation meeting, where it will begin its journey through time, remaining unopened until the Lodge’s next 10th anniversary.

The evening was honoured by the presence of Provincial Grand Master R.W.Bro. Mark Shields, who was warmly welcomed by the Worshipful Master, W.Bro. Terry Read.

W.Bro. Read then delivered an emotional, intriguing and thought-provoking lecture, drawing on his own trade as a carpenter. His toolbox became a wonderful analogy for the tools we use in Freemasonry, not simply the physical working tools, but the principles, values and lessons that we carry with us throughout our Masonic journey.

It was a fitting way to celebrate ten years: remembering where we have come from, reflecting on what Freemasonry means to us today, and leaving something for those who will come after us.

A very special congratulations to Dr David Cameron, Provincial Grand Charity Steward of Cambridgeshire Freemasons, who has been appointed Provincial Grand Master of the Masonic Order of Athelstan – Province of East Anglia.

The Order of Athelstan takes its inspiration from King Athelstan, who ruled from 924 to 939 AD and is regarded as the first King of all the English. The Order encourages its members to explore the fascinating history of Athelstan and the early development of Masonry in England, with a particular emphasis on Masonic research, history and study.

David’s appointment is a wonderful recognition of his commitment to Freemasonry, and we are delighted to see a senior member of Cambridgeshire Freemasons taking on this important role within the Province of East Anglia.

From everyone at Cambridgeshire Freemasons, we wish David every success and enjoyment in his new office.
