acquaintance and for members to make new friends with a common
interest. The activities include Entertainment by visiting

satisfying all tastes. |

The meetings begin with an informal get-together in
the Bar at about 11.15am where old friends can have refreshment and a
chat. Then follows a two course Buffet Lunch at about 12.15pm
in the main Dining Hall, with Tea and Coffee to follow.
After Lunch the Secretary will have arranged some
light entertainment such as a choir, or instrumentalists of some kind.
Sometimes there is an arranged talk by a local expert on some topical
subject.The meeting tends to be completed around 3pm or so.
During these meetings we have a raffle (free) and a
sale of second hand books or other small items such as CDs and toys. |

| The Buffet Lunch inc. Raffle is £9 per
person payable in advance or on the day. |
Occasionally a coach trip is arranged to some popular
venue.
These are in addition to the regular meetings. |
Members can reserve
places on a mini-bus service for collection and
return.
The current fee is £3
per person.
The transport should be reserved when the monthly meeting
notice is sent out. |

Please come and join us. Our branch is thriving and
is a great way for all of us elderly Masons, our wives and all the
ladies of our former Brethren to maintain continuity and friendship all
through the year. We also have a visit each year to the Merthyr Branch
and they come over to Bridgend to spend a few hours with us too. It’s
all good fun. |
