Given the inclement weather it has been suggested by both the WM and Lodge DC that we may be being a bit optimistic holding our first Lodge of Instruction of 2010. The class, scheduled for Wednesday 6 January, comes amidst severe snow.

One member of Ashley Hill had to abandon his car on the road of the Berkshire Masonic Centre two weeks ago, and this weeks snow is more severe. It’s also reported that the Masonic Centre is closed as the staff cannot get in.

The second Ashley Hill Lodge meeting of year 2009/2010 is taking place Tuesday 3rd November, where we will be doing a Third degree. As always the meeting will be taking place at the Berkshire Masonic Centre, Sindlesham, starting at 5.30pm.

Some additions have been made to the Ashley Hill website. The first feature you probably will have noticed are the ‘News Tags’ floating on the right. Each article posted on this website is now ‘tagged’ with specific key words. These key words float gracefully on the right. The bolder and larger the word, the more often it has been a tag. To read any article(s) tagged with a certain word, simply click the word on the right.

Photos of the Berkshire Masonic Centre have also been added here. New software allows for you to enlarge photos, or view a slideshow, without leaving your browser.
