The Buckhurst Hill Lodge 8291
50th Anniversary

The Buckhurst Hill Lodge 8291 celebrated the 50th
anniversary of the foundation of the Lodge by
holding an Anniversary Meeting at the Masonic Hall,
Loughton in December at which eighty members and
guests were present. The meeting was honoured by
the presence of the Deputy Provincial Grand Master
V.W.Bro Paul Reeves and other members of the
Provincial Executive.

A brief history of the Lodge so far was presented by the only surviving member who was present at the consecration of the lodge in 1969, W.Bro
Laurie Wilkinson, who is currently lodge Treasurer and Charity Steward. After which a cheque for £9000 for the 2022 Festival was presented to the
Deputy Provincial Grand Master by the Lodge Master W.Bro Ronnie Rowell.
This donation enabled the lodge to reach the sum required for the award of Patron status of the 2022 Festival and the Patron Certificate was then
presented by the Deputy Provincial Grand Master to the Lodge Master in open lodge.
The Lodge was then presented with a demonstration of "The Prince Hall-a different kind of Freemasonry" by members of the Maids Head Lodge
No.8558. This was greatly enjoyed by those present and a fitting celebration of this special Lodge event..
