Unfortunately we couldn’t take any photos inside the temple but hope the official photos will be published soon
4 members of PDL went to the Charity Shooting Day at Bisley .303 target shooting in the morning as a competition, a nice lunch then a mixture of .22 competition target rifles, .38 Special rifles and the really fun ones of black powder revolver and old fashioned replica cushion cap muzzle loading pistol Really fun day 🙂

More details to follow on our events page here
We run an invite e-mail distribution list, so if you would like to be invited to our future “Shoot and Meets” then please send an e-mail to webmaster@princedavidlodge.org.uk
It is a closed and secure e-mail distribution list. Members on the list do not see the e-mail addresses of anyone else on the list and messages are sent as a single e-mail to avoid being trapped in a spam filter (it will appear as a single e-mail to you from the sender)
This list is not available to anyone outside Prince David Lodge. Only someone on the list can send an e-mail to the list so any 3rd party who tries to send to it will be rejected by the server (this is to avoid any spam attempt)
This distribution list is not just for masons but is open to anyone who is interested. All our sho
ots are open to non-members, the presentations we do at the end of our Lodge Meetings are open to everyone
A lot of the time we have a White Table afterwards instead of a Festive Board, this means wives, partners, friends and non-masons can join us for a good dinner and excellent company afterwards 🙂

Congratulations to W.Bro. Mike Bushby for being Installed as Worshipful Master for Prince David Lodge for 2016
We were very lucky to be graced by the presence of the R.W.Bro. Eric Stuart-Bamford, Provincial Grand Master
Prince David Lodge also took the opportunity to present the PGM with a cheque for the Surrey 2019 Festival and the members of the Lodge also presented him with a gift from the Lodge, a beautiful gun cleaning station
Our commiserations go out to our IPM who suffered another injury which precluded him from attending, we all hope you recover soon
The charities that I would like to support this year
There may be the odd one off charity to support as well
Please come along and support the Lodges shoots, they will be enjoyable and the meetings will be different and interesting
Gun debate in Britain tends to focus on what is happening in the US, but more than 700,000 firearm owners live in England and Wales. Who are they, and why do some want laws relaxed?
