Dear Brother, Member of our District,
You are cordially invited to celebrate with us the 120th Anniversary of St. George's Lodge.

Believe me, it would give me personally great pleasure and I would be greatly honoured by your better half's and your presence that night.

What better way to celebrate 120 years of Masonry than during a Ladies' night when we will be 'expressing our thanks and gratitude' to all the ladies who will be present on the night.

Dear Brother, you are required to bring your Masonic regalia with you, as our ladies and all our guests will be allowed to enter the Temple, after we call off and while we are still seated in our places with full Regalia.

It will be a night full of Masonic history, presents for the ladies and lots of surprises for all attending.

Hoping to see you all on Friday, 13th of March 2026, at 18:30 at Royal Hall, Nicosia.

Sincerely and Fraternally
W.Bro. George Papageorgiou
Worshipful Master

****************************

Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,
Great chieftain o' the pudding race!
Aboon them a' yet tak your place,
Painch, tripe, or thairm:
Weel are ye wordy o' a grace
As lang's my arm.

The groaning trencher there ye fill,
Your hurdies like a distant hill,
Your pin was help to mend a mill
In time o' need,
While thro' your pores the dews distil
Like amber bead.

His knife see rustic Labour dight,
An' cut you up wi' ready sleight,
Trenching your gushing entrails bright,
Like ony ditch;
And then, O what a glorious sight,
Warm-reekin', rich!

Then, horn for horn, they stretch an' strive:
Deil tak the hindmost! on they drive,
Till a' their weel-swall'd kytes belyve
Are bent like drums;
Then auld Guidman, maist like to rive,
"Bethankit!" hums.

Is there that owre his French ragout
Or olio that wad staw a sow,
Or fricassee wad make her spew
Wi' perfect sconner,
Looks down wi' sneering, scornfu' view
On sic a dinner?

Poor devil! see him owre his trash,
As feckles as wither'd rash,
His spindle shank, a guid whip-lash,
His nieve a nit;
Thro' blody flood or field to dash,
O how unfit!

But mark the Rustic, haggis-fed,
The trembling earth resounds his tread.
Clap in his walie nieve a blade,
He'll mak it whissle;
An' legs an' arms, an' hands will sned,
Like taps o' thrissle.

Ye Pow'rs, wha mak mankind your care,
And dish them out their bill o' fare,
Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware
That jaups in luggies;
But, if ye wish her gratefu' prayer,
Gie her a haggis!

Making a Digital Daily Advancement

Date & Time

Nicosia

Description
How Learning and Development’s digital tools support learning, understanding, and personal progression in Freemasonry

Freemasonry is a lifelong journey of learning, reflection, and personal development. While Lodge meetings remain at the heart of that journey, many members wish to explore and deepen their understanding beyond the Lodge room.

In this Solomon Live, we will explore the Learning & Development tools available on the Solomon platform that members can access anytime, anywhere. These digital resources are designed to support members at every stage of their Masonic journey and to complement Lodge-based learning.

The session will feature Provincial Learning & Development Officers, who will share practical examples of how they use the Solomon platform to:
• Support members’ progression and advancement
• Reinforce learning outside Lodge meetings
• Encourage curiosity and deeper engagement with Freemasonry

We will look at key Solomon tools, including:
• Solomon Academy and Diplomas
• Nuggets and Papers
• Ask Hiram, Solomon’s AI learning tool

Whether you are involved in Learning & Development or simply interested in making more use of Solomon, this session will offer insights, ideas, and inspiration.

Modernize workflows with Zoom's trusted collaboration tools: including video meetings, team chat, VoIP phone, webinars, whiteboard, contact center, and events.
