Camberley Lodge No.5591

The photograph shows W.Bro. David Matthews, IPM of Camberley Lodge, presenting a cheque for £2,500 to Zoe Mitten of Alexander Devine Children's Hospice Service in Maidenhead on 11th November 2025.

David has supported the hospice for many years and, whilst giving thanks for the donation, Zoe commented that it will be of tremendous benefit to the hospice, which provides care and support to many children with life-limiting illnesses, together with giving much help and pastoral care to their parents.

The donation represents contributions raised during David's year as Worshipful Master of Camberley Lodge in 2024.

2024 was a great year in the lodge with many social and other activities, culminating in a fabulous Ladies Evening at Frimley Hall Hotel in Camberley.

During the year, every ceremony was worked, including an Initiation Ceremony, making it both successful and enjoyable.

What a great day we had at the Camberley Lodge Summer barbecue on 12th July

The barbecue was held at the lovely home and garden of IPM Rick Comber and his wife, Abi.

We had chosen what was possibly the hottest day of the year. But despite this the nearly 60 guests, including wives, partners and children, had a fantastic time, with excellent well-cooked food.

The new Worshipful Master, Malcolm Elliott, has chosen "THE NOT FORGOTTEN" as his charity for the year. This charity provides valuable support to ex-service personnel in the U.K.

A raffle in aid of this charity raised a substantial sum on the day.

Malcolm thanked everyone for supporting him and said that he is looking forward to a very successful year with possibly two or three new candidates for Initiation.
