W Bro Tim Caldwell was installed as Master on 8 February by the outgoing Master, W Bro Alan Bigwood.

Since his installation he has enjoyed attending a first degree at Lopes in March and Semper Fidelis in April where one of the brethren gave a very informative explanation of the Master Mason’s apron. He also attended the annual Provincial meeting at the English Riviera Centre, at which one of the St Thomas was awarded Provincial office and another promoted.

The Worshipful Master conducted his first ceremony on 8 March to initiate a new member and this was followed on 12 April by the initiation of another new member. We hope the new brethren will enjoy their journey through freemasonry and will spend many happy years with St Thomas.

A few dates for the diary:-

Cadogan Court Summer Fete on Saturday 17 June

As usual, St Thomas Lodge will be supporting this event and will be running the bar. Any brethren who would like to help, either with the bar or in any other way, should speak to W Bro Gary Hunter

Exeter Brewery Tour on 28 July

Curry Night at Gandy Street on 15 September

Ladies’ Lunch

Following the success of the last few years it is planned to hold another Ladies’ lunch at the Langstone Cliff Hotel, Dawlish on 22 October.

Ladies’ Night

This will be held on 27 January 2018 at Reed Hall, Exeter University and we hope that the brethren will support the Worshipful Master at this event. After the meal there will be music for those who would like to dance off the calories they have just eaten but equally there will be plenty of quiet areas for those who would prefer to talk.

More details of all these events will follow.

We would like to keep the website updated regularly but that depends on people letting us know what is happening. If you have any items which would be of interest to the brethren or have attended or planned any events you would like shared on this website please email details to
